In the summer of 2019, IMG asked us to make some artificial topiary letters for the Womens’s British Open in Woburn. IMG is a global leader in sports, events, media and fashion  and manages some of the world’s greatest sports figures and fashion icons.

We had previously made some letters for the client three years prior, and they wished to commission three new letters so that they could spell out #AIGWBO. This was to highlight the new title sponsor: in 2019 the Women’s British Open was headlined by AIG for the first time.

We matched the font from the previous order, to make sure that the letters would look like a full set, using the same dimensions and material.

These letters were made from artificial grass, which matched the theme of the project – golf

The letters were placed onto a large platform. We had attached bolting points onto each piece, so they used these to fix each letter securely to the platform, before adding a layer of green felt.

The platform was built in a prominent place, so that it could be a big feature to the event and be used as a photo opportunity.

If your upcoming event could do with some topiary sculptures, please get in touch!

Limerick in Ireland is an historic town the beauty of which has recently been enhanced with Agrumi topiary. Agrumi’s handmade designs – in living or artificial plants – are perfect for business advertising in public spaces. 

When Limerick Self Storage chose to advertise on a roundabout they needed an eye-catching design. The project had to publicize the company’s services to motorists quickly, but effectively as they negotiated their way around the heart of the city close to the River Shannon and the station. 

A mockup of the design using actual boxes

Agrumi worked closely with Limerick Self Storage to develop a design that focuses on the main tools of their trade – packing cases and other forms of storage. The resulting layout is made in artificial boxwood to be robust and long lasting. 

The cubes vary is size from 35cm to 90 cm and the doorway to the installation is 250cm tall. Metal posts have been dug 100cm into the ground to ensure that the structures stay in place and withstand the strong winds that blow along the river. 

The design imaginatively and playfully showcases all that Limerick Self Storage is about alongside discrete, low natural planting that deliberately scales up the topiary elements. 

The Managing Director’s feedback says it all…

“Thank you to everyone involved in this project, it has been a great success and we are already starting to receive very positive feedback.”

This case study is a great opportunity to bring a fantastic charity to the attention of our other clients and potential customers so they can think about donating too.

Over almost 100 years the Trust has facilitated opportunities for hundreds of thousands of disabled, elderly and vulnerable people to live the lives they choose, as independently as possible.

At present the Trust is supporting over 6500 individuals – children and adults – across three core services:

• Care – including care at home
• Housing – including sheltered accommodation and care homes
• Employment – including jobs and skills training

The range of assistance offered is phenomenal from personal care (including help with personal hygiene such as bathing and showering, medications and food and drink preparation) to social support (such as shopping trips, domestic care, social activities, welfare checks and financial management and administration).

Based in Hampshire but with a much wider reach the Trust’s full care model enables them to provide a ‘wrap around service’ that is personalised and tailored to individuals.

Without the Trust’s know-how and support the lives of many people would be much the poorer physically and emotionally.

This Christmas and beyond if you’re looking for a deserving charity to support you should look no further that the Enham Trust.

Following our recent commissions for Disney to celebrate Mickey’s 90th more work has followed including this witty installation for Disney via the PR company 2Heads.

Everyone here in the creative team at Agrumi had a blast putting this piece together:

• From our hardworking, courteous office staff who provide Agrumi’s backbone and dealt with the new commission through the initial phone call to the legal, administrative and financiald etails;
• To the inspired and inspiring design and fabrication department who made the figure;
• To our wonderful delivery guys that carefully packaged and expertly delivered Mickey to our expectant customer.

The feedback about the pieces we made for Disney and 2 Heads have been overwhelmingly positive:

“Many thanks for what you produced, they met the brief perfectly and added that little extra to a successful event."
Punch Wilson, Production Manager, 2Heads

After the success of other commissions there, we got a call from the Disneyland Resort in California. The idea was to make various Mickey and Minnie Mouse items in artificial box topiary for display in shops and at other merchandising outlets.

We were only too pleased to help and worked closely with the Disney team to design and make a variety of items that would perfectly encapsulate the spirit of the Mouse and the company’s fun ethos.

The photos show our success and the Disney people were thrilled with the results. Project supervisor Cameryn Chan said:

“Thank you so much for everything your team did for us and with such short notice and lead time. We really appreciate it and it was a pleasure working with you”.
