The Iconic Yellow Submarine

Drawing on Peter Max’s classic, cartoon imagery, we traced a dimensionally layered series of flats to create a more slender version of the iconic Yellow Submarine, which the bartenders could easily navigate around.

Daisy Lazy Susan

Utilizing worm-drive servo motors and lithium battery packs, we created a stand- alone slow-spin ‘daisy lazy susan’ topped with small vases which created a challenge for contestants to land pennies in.

Tic-Tac-Toe

Ringo’s ring toss was fabricated simply by using drum sticks and cymbals arrayed in a tic-tac-toe pattern.

Mini-Golf Course

The mini-golf course incorporated a small ramp to accommodate a ball return at the side, and a bending plywood set of guardrails to make it, well, long and winding.

The real challenge, as with all gala events, is delivering, setting up and striking the scenery all in the same night!
