Arête

We create sets for tv shows, reality shows, commercials, music videos, big budget features, and independent films. We hang truss and throw decking. We add atmosphere, make something move, or blow it up. We conceptualize it, design it, build it, rig it, test it, and most importantly: we make it safe.

Everything we do is fabricated by our team of talented carpenters, SFX technicians, scenic painters, sculptors, welders, sewers, and rigging grips. Our North Hollywood headquarters has complete metal, wood, scenic and sewing facilities (and a climbing wall!). We know the best materials to use and how to use them. From plastic, wood, foam, and steel to vinyl, muslin, lathe, and Cordura. We know the difference between polylam and ether foams and which to use to ensure a soft landing. Our team is deadline-driven, professional, and we always design with safety in mind.

We have almost every tool and resource around. We strive to stay current with the latest technology and software trends to provide the best in product and service for our customers. We are environmentally-friendly and use sustainable resources whenever and wherever possible.

Our main facility is centrally located in North Hollywood, CA within a short drive of the 170, 405 and 134 freeways. If you’re looking for sets to be built outside of the Greater Los Angeles area, we can do that too! We can design, consult, and build for your project anywhere in the world!
