FTB DESIGN - Bringing Visionary Designs to an International ClienteleBy Corina SandruFTB Design Inc., a Local 44 signatory shop since February 2022, is a full-service production design firm that serves its local and international clients from concept to execution. The individual pieces or sets are created through 3D renderings, design boards, draftings, materials selection, and graphic design. Their in-house construction team can handle any build, from full-scale exteriors to custom furniture pieces. NewsReel had the pleasure of visiting the shop and meeting with the founders and their fabulous crew working hard at creating amazing designs. What began as a unified design brand quickly grew into an effort to continue working with not only the best crew members but cultivating a family of excellence.  Here are a few photos of odds and ends that we were proud to be a part of over the last few months. The CrewJustine's Wine BarCentennial Public HouseRevenge Of - Base Station ExpansionBrain Dead x Revenge Of | SDCC 2023 Magic Commander TournamentOdds & Ends Hello, lovely readers! Isn't it exhilarating when we have the chance to bring someone else's creative vision to life? That was exactly our exciting task this past August, at the famed Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It was our privilege to be trusted by Meyers Manx to translate their designs into a captivating reality. Envisioning an architectural spectacle amidst the lush landscape of Pebble Beach, the designs featured a standalone post and beam structure. Where some might see just a blueprint, we saw an opportunity for creative exploration and crafting a work of art. The result was a structure that showcased not only sophistication but also an embodiment of the designer's concept. This project assigned us the valuable role as the interpreting artist, taking the designs from paper sketches to tangible experiences. Every stakeholder, from our hardworking builders to our attentive project managers, took immense pride in this role and their contribution to making it a successful endeavor. With these stylized kiosks, the task was to create a trinity of architectural gems, each unique in character but harmonious as a collective. With precision and attention to detail, we turned the client's vision into these three freestanding marvels, perfect backdrops against the scenic views of Pebble Beach. The designs from our client called for luxurious lounges nested inside these homes. Drawing from their ideas, we built and installed chic, custom-made lounges, a bar, flats and bookshelves, with each piece potently echoing the style of Meyers Manx. The interiors demanded a touch of vibrancy. What better way to achieve this than with the playfulness of neon installations? And so, we infused the spaces with this luminous, youthful energy as per the designs provided to us. This project assigned us the valuable role as the interpreting artist, taking the designs from paper sketches to tangible experiences. Every stakeholder, from our hardworking builders to our attentive project managers, took immense pride in this role and their contribution to making it a successful endeavor. The joy on everyone's faces, the satisfaction our client derived from the finished installation, and the admiration of the visitors at the event - all these were testaments to our hard work and passion.
To have been part of Meyers Manx's creative journey at Pebble Beach, to have been given the chance to interpret their designs into a rewarding reality was truly a privilege. Here's to all the dreams we get to build and the stories we assist to tell! See you in the next adventure, Joe  On August 19, something extraordinary happened. Revenge Of opened their portal to a thrilling new phase: their awe-inspiring store expansion, 'Base Station.' Doubling in size, it marked a significant milestone for the popular retailer and brought a myriad of invaluable opportunities to the table. At the heart of this transformation was the visionary team at FTB.DESIGN. The design process for this exciting expansion was influenced by a plethora of out-of-this-world visuals. Guided by the creative leadership of Jeff Eyser, the FTB team set about scaling their passion, expertise, and dedication to encompass the mesmerising brief. From AI-generated artwork, textures inspired by the hit show Silo, to visions of science fiction-esque oxygen farms - every reference was meticulously embedded in the new design. In an impressive three months, FTB.DESIGN transformed an ambitious idea into a tangible reality. Their collective endeavor led to the successful execution of a concept that would have appeared as a nebulous complexity to many. The installation task was spearheaded by Kevin Mincin, whose attention to detail and relentless pursuit of excellence ensured the project was brought to life exactly as envisioned. In an impressive three months, FTB.DESIGN transformed an ambitious idea into a tangible reality. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a deep understanding of the Revenge Of brand, they designed a space that elevates the customer experience while upholding the identity of the store.
