Angel Delights

April 2009

An ethereal vision of angels soaring among the cathedral-like arches at Grand Arcade in Cambridge, greeted visitors at Christmas.

The classical heritage feel of Cambridge’s new shopping centre, provided the perfect backdrop for our lifelike, angelic characters.

Over six months of preparation went into the development of the 10 angels, with their luxurious, light-infused wings.

Sculpted from photos of real people, an anatomically correct mould was created from which the angels were cast.

"Attention to detail was critical to achieve the lifelike effect required. The angels were dressed in satin and velvet and given wigs made from real hair. For complete authenticity, we even gave their nails a French manicure," said director, David Kitchen-Dunn.

The mystical effect of the four metre wings was created by using real feathers, while glistening LED lights added a magical touch.

The angels had the desired effect, generating significant PR coverage, creating a talking point and driving footfall into the new Grand Arcade shopping centre.

In the beginning...
Sculptors add the finishing touches to the angel mould. Body position, neck, arm and hand angles were carefully researched to ensure authenticity.

...the heavenly vision.
The attention to detail of our perfectly formed angels, gracing the eves of Grand Arcade, attracted considerable interest and visitors.
