 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. It's evident that FTB.DESIGN specializes not only in creating striking visual landscapes but also in capturing the spirit of a brand and cherishing its journey.

FTB.DESIGN meticulously crafted the staging, accents, tables, and dressing, transforming an offsite location into a fantasy battle arena worthy of Magic the Gathering's vibrant lore. Urban streetwear brand, Brain Dead, ramped up the excitement with a drop of exclusive merchandise, tailored for the die-hard Comic-Con crowd. But the Brain Dead team didn’t stop at apparel; they fueled the event ambiance, dominating the decks and controlling the DJ space. The sought-after Commander Tournament was deftly orchestrated by Revenge Of, adding dimension and a thrilling competitive edge to the gathering. Magic the Gathering enthusiasts eagerly took up the challenge, livening the event with their enthusiasm and camaraderie.

We had a fantastic time with the second car launch event! (We’ll never forget about you, Mazda CX-90). VTPro hired us to make the hero elements for their installation at Century City Mall. We fabricated the hero pedestal, accent tract, and lid for the box trim.
The interactive installation was stunning. It allowed visitors to reveal their driving mood by placing their hands on the pad, and the presentation was highly engaging. Overall, it was yet another satisfying experience!  Photo credit to Chandra Wicke www.chandrawickephotography.com We are still buzzing after the absolute blast we had hosting Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, and Scott Hepburn for the launch of their Minor Threats collection in an event sponsored by Revenge Of and produced by FTB.DESIGN, we were running on all cylinders. MINOR THREATS, Big RewardsIf you're unfamiliar, Minor Threats is a comic series described as The Watchmen meets The Boys. When the sidekick to a superhero is murdered by a B-level villain as a ploy to launch himself into the A-league, the city turns into an indiscriminate hunting ground for any and all villains, no matter how small the transgression or how ancient the past is. A rag-tag group of d-listers bands together to save their own skin, trying to track down the aspiring murderer to quench the thirst of a righteous superhero driven mad with rage. Not only does the book SLAP, but the creators are absolutely delightful. Writers Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum attended, and artist Scott Hepburn flew in from Canada to join the celebration.  The recent Lotzilla - ParKing of Paradise event was an absolute blast, organized by FTB.DESIGN for Revenge Of. There were a plethora of exceptional vendors in attendance, each bringing their unique flair to the event. Notably, Crocodile Jackson left a lasting impression with their stunning artwork and interactive 'shooting' gallery, while Velvet Apparition offered a variety of spooky items and antiquities that were sure to pique your interest. The Psychic Friends Club was also in attendance, showcasing their one-of-a-kind creations, and Purgatory Candles had a mesmerizing display of candles that caught the eye of many attendees. Additionally, Disperse Press was present, launching a super cool 'Last Action Hero' shirt that was a hit among those in attendance. Mystic Dylan, on the other hand, offered readings that were both insightful and thought-provoking. And let's not forget about the delicious food served by Los Cochinitos and the mouth-watering treats from Nomadic Ice Pops. Suffice to say, the event was a resounding success, and everyone had a phenomenal time. To see our community highlights, check out our Instagram.
