Crain’s recently did an article on Display Group as a Detroit Prop House. In addition to all of the corporate and social events that we provide decor, lighting, and furniture to, we have also been busy supplying props to many of the main feature films in Michigan.
With one of the largest inventories in the Midwest of cool props — items ranging from a replica of Michelangelo’s David to a huge mahogany bar — Portwood, president of Display Group, and his staff of 16 full-time and 10 part-time set and graphic designers, are up to the challenge. Housed in a 200,000-square-foot warehouse west of downtown Detroit on Fort Street, Display Group is an event planner’s dream come true.
Because we have such a large warehouse of decor and many different services that we provide, we’re usually only portrayed in articles as being a theme and decor company so it was great to see the Crain’s article go a little more in depth on the variety of projects we’ve completed lately.
Display Group’s services include basic pipe and draping for corporate meetings, elaborate theme decorations and rental furniture for major events, large format graphics and signs, temporary and permanent displays for trade shows, and exhibits for museums. Recently it has designed and created movie sets, including a room to look like heaven for the latest installation of the “Harold & Kumar” comedy film series.
They go on in the article to mention some of our higher profile clients like Compuware, Quicken Loans, The Parade Company, and United Way for Southeastern Michigan. There’s also a good mention of Studio dg our event loft space for rent in our 1920′s era building.
