Illuminating Stories: The Art of Light and Metal in Modern Storytelling

Light and metal—two materials that, when combined, can evoke wonder, drama, and emotion. At South Coast Metal Fabrication (SCMF), we collaborate with lighting designers, set creators and installation artists to build environments that captivate and inspire.

From our workshop in Brighton, Sussex, we bring artistic visions to life with precision and passion. 🌟🔧

Light + Metal = Magic

We’ve seen firsthand how impactful a well-crafted light installation can be. With our fabrication expertise, we support projects across film, theatre, advertising and live events:

• 💡 Light sculptures and immersive environments

• 🧱 Architectural features with embedded lighting

• 🎭 Stage backdrops and interactive pieces

• 🎬 Feature lighting for film sets and TV production

One of our proudest collaborations was with Brighton-based lighting designer Frankie Boyle, where we helped bring his immersive ideas into three-dimensional form. Whether it’s sculptural lighting for galleries or atmospheric pieces for TV sets, our role is to make the impossible possible.
