Design. Engineer. Build.  This is what we do.

BlackBox Productions has a three word tagline. Design. Engineer. Build. Overly simplistic? Maybe on the surface, but each is deep in its scope and complexity, and between the three, we cover the gamut in the delivery of the branded in store experience.

Design

At BlackBox, the design process is quite a bit more than creating fantastic forms and compelling spaces. Design is a process of discovery that only comes from listening to our client's needs, studying their competitive environment and crafting a strategy based on our findings.

Only once the brief is set, is it time to package these findings in a functional, beautiful wrapper that effectively communicates the client's brand to the consumer.

Engineer

The engineers at BlackBox have the distinct challenge of bringing even the loftiest design intent in line with the most stringent budgets. Whether the project is 10,000 simple metal shelves slated for a domestic DC, or a major global shop-in-shop rollout entering 500 doors, design for manufacturability is the mantra and durability is king.

Build

There are two places we build – in the shop and in the field, each distinct in both its managerial requirements and category skillsets.

In the field are the journeyman carpenters versed in all levels of commercial construction and installation, led by project managers who truly understand the often times complex needs of our client’s client – The Retailer.

In our shops are the production line crews, precise in their complex jigs and “operations per minute” mindset as well as our custom fabricators – superb craftsmen, experienced in the unique construction methods required for seamless field installations.

Retail fixture programs are the heritage of Blackbox Productions - Where we got our start and where we continue to excel. Design, engineering, fabrication, fulfillment and logistics. All of it - Large and small, domestic and global.
Our environments group is a meld of architecture, retail design, project management and superb construction craftsmanship. Our designers work with the client to develop the vision, our PM’s coordinate the general contractors and project architects, and our craftspeople and installers ensure final delivery on the promise.
The Special Ops group takes on the projects that are either too quick or too mission critical to run within traditional timelines or protocol. Whether it is a presentation to a company exec, a token of victory for a sponsored athlete, or a product launch in less than a week that needs “one more piece” - If it can be done, it will be done.
