Love Island Trailer

Bespoke Tiled Pool Boardroom Table Prop for ITVX’s “Love Island Trailer”

MACHINESHOP fabricated a highly complex, custom liquid staging rig for the high-profile ITVX Love Island commercial campaign. Developed alongside leading broadcast creatives, this vibrant promo features a surreal corporate office takeover where traditional executive furniture transitions into luxury villa environments. Our workshop team built a water-tight prop centrepiece replicating a tiled swimming pool as a corporate boardroom table.

Advanced Liquid Rigging & Tiled Waterproof Prop Fabrication

Combining a fully tiled, high-volume water containment structure for high-definition studio cinematography demands advanced plumbing calculations, structural safety framing, and perfect visual finishes:

• Bespoke Tiled Pool Table Engineering: Custom-fabricating a heavy-duty, water-tight structural aluminium chassis lined with authentic pool tiles.
• Integrated Water Circulation Systems: Deploying low-noise pumping hardware from our liquids hire department to maintain a perfectly clear, rippling azure pool surface under warm studio lighting rigs.
• Comprehensive Studio Flooding Protection: Engineering multi-layered waterproofing membranes, internal pressure valves, and custom fast-drain channels to ensure zero leakage risks to the soundstage electrical infrastructure or tracking cameras.
• Seamless Scenic Material Blending: Working hand-in-hand with production designer Rosy Thomas to hide all functional plumbing networks, cables, and sub-surface suction frames.
