A good program requires a set to match. It’s the place where everything happens, so it has to be eye-catching and recognizable. But not only that, the usual rhythm of television productions demands solutions:

  • Customized
  • Unproblematic
  • Clean
  • Easy to assemble and disassemble
  • Sustainable

Cardboard is the material that meets all these requirements. Let’s take a look at some examples of sets for television programmes using our favourite material.

We have been living with streaming for a long time, but in the last few months this type of transmission has experienced a great boom.

The reason? Another type of coexistence, in this case forced, with the coronavirus.

The set included an enveloping structure of 48 rings, each one with a tonality, based on the eight colors of the image of the event. And a very resistant circular bench, just as colourful.

A great success!

Faceted elements with video mapping

Have you heard of video mapping? I’m sure you have. It’s about projectingvideo and light effects on real surfaces, achieving an artistic effect.

The set of ‘Cuando ya no esté’ for Movistar + is a good example. A functional support, but with a futuristic aesthetic, on which to project colour changes, infographics and video to support the broadcast. TheVideo Mapping sobre diseño de decorado para televisiónpolygonal shapes of the set are ideal for video mapping.

This is the first time that video mapping has been introduced on television sets in Spain, so we opted for the most spectacular support possible, playing with volumes. The central table of the studio and the audience’s stools fitted in with the set and completed the general aesthetics.

Giant screens and corporeal letters

Tu cara no me suena todavía‘ is a program produced by Gestmusic and broadcasted on Antena 3 TV. We were commissioned with the structural design and production of the casting recording set, in Madrid and Barcelona.

The main element of the setting was the backdrop of the stage, a lattice screen. It was built thanks to a simple system of cardboard panels fitted together.

The pieces were printed in full colour, so that once assembled, the programme’s logo could be read from certain points of view.

We designed everything in cardboard, which allows a quick construction without noise, odor or waste. In addition, the elements are lightweight, reusable, easily disassembled and stored flat for later use.

The letters with the initials of the program were made with several layers of honeycomb cardboard overlapped. They were very good in camera and did not require extra support once they reached the thickness estimated in the design.

Custom backs and counter

The program CASH was broadcasted on Televisión Murciana with the intention of promoting a responsible culture of consumption. For them we made a modular and customized set. It consisted of a large back panel, counter and chairs for the presenter and guests.

We designed a backdrop composed of four modular panels printed with the Cash logo to reinforce the image of the program. The panels can be grouped together to create different combinations and scenographies.

Table-counter and chairs

The set had to accommodate a presenter and two guests. For this we designed a table almost 4 meters long. It was made up of three independent modules to facilitate assembly and installation. And finished in white with a small gradient on the edges and the logo of the program in the center. Three Faceta chairs completed the furniture.
