Our attention to fine detail and quality has resulted in many stunning examples of acrylic fabrication. We encourage clients to visit our modern factory to see our huge portfolio of work and the variety of industry sectors we have worked for.
Daniel Buren Artworks
Inplas worked closely with Factory Settings Ltd to help create Daniel Buren's striking installation at The Lisson Gallery.
Twenty one 3x2 metre clear acrylic panels were laser cut to dovetail with the suspended metalwork and vibrant coloured films were applied to the panels to complete the dramatic sensory experience.
The same design was also applied to a custom pergola outside the gallery.
Illuminated Artworks
Inplas worked with Jo Berry to create a series of laser cut illuminated artworks for her "Hijacking Natural Systems" arts and science project devised in collaboration with the School of Biomedical Sciene at the University of Nottingham and the Welcome Foundation.

3D Headset Displays
Inplas designed and fabricated 26 bespoke laser-cut display stands for military communication headsets. Each display was formed from 5 human profiles in 8mm clear Perspex and joined using 15mm clear acrylic rods to create a unique 3D effect. The profiles slot into the 20mm plinth for ease of transportation between exhibitions.
Bar & Restaurant Partitions
Inplas laser cut these intricate patterns from 12mm clear Perspex to create unique partitions for a bar and restaurant area. LED lighting was added to create a fantastic effect.
London Transport Museum
Inplas have recently worked closely with the famous London Transport Museum to create a vibrant new look and feel for their cafeteria area. Frosted kiwi-green Plexiglas sheets were fabricated for the curved box sections and wall windows, and laser-cut clear Acrylic was fitted into the existing Edwardian iron work roofing sections, to give the whole floor a very modern feel.
Mirror Wall and Artwork
Inplas have recently completed another stunning Perspex installation, featuring yellow 2202 transparent and grey tinted 923 boxes which are wall-mounted to bespoke laser-cut MDF backboards. The boxes were laminated with grey mirror internal panels to give a wonderful reflective finish. 10mm white Perspex was laser cut to create the skyline wall artwork which reflects in the boxes to complete this stylish office interior.
Kurt Geiger Chandelier
Inplas were approached to help in the design of a very special Perspex and steel chandelier for the world renowned shoe designers Kurt Geiger. 12mm clear Perspex was laser cut to create the mounting plates and bonded brackets to hold the shoes in place. Once the light was added the whole chandelier came alive showing how Perspex can create amazing modern designs.
Tailor Made for TaylorMade
Inplas worked with TaylorMade, the leading golf equipment company, to create presentations racks and shelving to showcase their 2011 product range and roster of TaylorMade Tour players.
Acrylic Artworks
Working closely with Acrylicize, Inplas created a series of bespoke artworks for a law firm — each artwork depicts a landmark case in the firm's history.
The black and white images were applied to matt white Perspex using direct-to-media printing, with laser-cut details which show through the vibrant background colour. The artworks were finished with a 10mm white gloss Perspex frame.
The Light Wall, Part 2
In 2010 Inplas worked with Acrylicize to design and fabricate a stunning light wall for Engine’s London HQ.
Inplas also created an illuminated logo sign for the wall at the entrance of the reception and it has proved so popular that a second illuminated logo has now been fabricated to form the centrepiece of the light wall.
Here are some more photos of the finished project:
MTV Logo
Inplas fabricated a scale version of the new MTV logo for a recent award ceremony.
The blue M sits on a black Perspex plinth and the additional lettering was laser-cut in 3mm Perspex and face-bonded onto the main body. The top left hand corner was laser-etched with the award details.
John Lewis Harmony House
Inplas CAD-designed and fabricated the windows of the 'Harmony House' used in a forthcoming John Lewis advert shot on the South Bank in London.
The windows were CNC-machined in 6mm PETG for maximum durability and the corner panels were thermo-formed to create a seamless display.
Bespoke Feature Wall for Engine's London HQ
Working closely with Acrylicize, Inplas fabricated a stunning feature wall for Engine’s head office in Great Portland Street, London.
The wall — 3 metres high and over 15 metres in length — comprises 120 individiually fabricated Perspex sections and uses almost the entire range of frosted Perspex colours. Every section has a custom depth offset and many of the sections are also internally LED-illuminated for added impact.
The project was particularly challenging because the design had to work within the constraints of an existing structure with a large sweeping radius — and with no original CAD drawings available. Bespoke templates were created on site to ensure a perfect fit was achieved and installation went smoothly. Click here to view a video of the installation.
MDF Artworks
Laser-cut 9mm and 12 mm artworks were combined to create this unique montage. The MDF was used in its raw state rather than painted — the laser creates the unique black edging which adds to the 3D effect.
Display Enclosure
Inplas were selected to design and fabricate a 5x2x2 metre display enclosure to form the centrepiece of a launch party for a leading kitchen design company. The enclosure was constructed around a unique metal framework with 10mm laser-cut clear acrylic wall and roof panels and a 10mm Opal 050 floor.
The project was completed in just four days and the client was delighted with the innovative design, flawless finish and rapid turnaround.
Silverstone Seafood Display Counters
Inplas designed and manufacured 12 unique seafood displays counters in arctic frost blue Perspex for the Aspire hospitality suite at the 2010 Silverstone British Grand Prix. Each display was fabricated with removable internal shelves and back panel for ease of assembly and transport.
Floral Display Plinths
1 metre high display plinths for contempory flower display. Each plinth includes hundreds of Svarowski cut crystals hanging from the interior.
Enclosures for Scientific Equipment
Inplas were approached to fabricate two Perspex enclosures for sensitive scientific equipment. The enclosures were finished to the highest possible level to create an airtight environment to maintain a dust-free low pressure vacuum for scientific experiments.

Bencore, an exciting new substrate from Perspex, was chosen for the cardio gym - creating a very vibrant and fresh look in combination with coloured LED lighting. The panels were CNC machined and drilled for ease of fixing.
