LYNX
WORLD RECORD GIANT SHOWER
August 2011 saw the arrival of the world's LARGEST shower! Designed and fabricated in-house by Helix for Unilever and ultimately for Lynx. Working in conjunction with Lounge Group and Mischief PR, the giant shower was a huge success. Installed on the Bournemouth beachfront and V Festival, Lynx secured its place in the Guinness Book Of World Records for the greatest number of people in one shower (a massive 153 semi-naked volunteers!). In fact the campaign was so successful there are plans for a European Tour next year, so have your shower caps at the ready!

BBC
Dr. Who experience Tardis
The TARDIS has landed! In fact it landed slap bang in the middle of London Olympia’s roof canopy and ‘officials’ say it is to remain as a permanent fixture. As part of the BBC’s Dr Who Experience Helix were asked to create an exact replica of the Tardis, no mean feat given its iconic status. Working together with the local authority, TFL and structural engineers rather than flying in, the Tardis was actually painstakingly craned into its new home. Go see for yoursel! www.doctorwhoexperience.com

Attack The Block
feature film out now!
At Helix we’re celebrating the release of Attack the Block on DVD now we get to see our handy work from the comfort of our living rooms. This newest venture from writer / director Joe Cornish and the producers of Shaun Of The Dead, follows the struggle of a gang of teenagers as they fight an alien invasion. Shot on location and at 3 Mills Studio’s it’s said to ‘turn a London housing estate into a sci-fi playground.’ It’s already had box office success worldwide so we recommend everyone have a night in with a box of popcorn!
General Motors
Lifesize play-doh car
We took eight model makers, two weeks and 1.5 tonnes of aquamarine Play-Doh and created a life-sized car to celebrate the unveiling of the new Chevrolet Orlando. Designed and produced at Helix, passers-by in the Clerkenwell district were surprised by the overnight appearance of the 4.6m toy car. The sculpture has received world wide coverage and been a resounding success... now if we could only get this blue colour out from under our finger nails!
Symantec
experiential exhibition stand
Using deisigns by the team at Exposure and continuing our already established relationship with them we created an eye-catching structure for the Symantec stand at the Infosecurity event at Earls Court this April. Pre-fabricated at Helix HQ and installed by our team the stand was packed full of high tech gyzmos, the flying drones being a favoured attraction at would could otherwise be a rather dry software event. Another satisfied costumer!
Nintendo

We were commissioned by The Cake Group to design, build and install the stage & set for the European launch of the Nintendo 3DS. In addition to the stage set for the main presentation, we also designed and built a 5000sq ft set of a street scene based on the 3DS TV commercial.
