What Arch Productions does

Arch Productions, operating as ARCH New York, was a multi-disciplinary design, engineering, fabrication, and production studio founded in 2010 and headquartered in New York City. The company served enterprise clients across five primary segments — retail and fashion brands, event producers and festivals, film and entertainment, museums and public institutions, and advertising/experiential marketing agencies — delivering bespoke physical installations including retail fixtures, pop-up stores, festival stages, museum commissions, and commercial props.

Its technical foundation rested on an in-house digital-fabrication infrastructure spanning CNC milling, 7-axis KUKA robotics, laser cutting and engraving, 3D printing, projection mapping, interactive displays, and scenic/faux finishing, supported by a cross-functional team of designers, engineers, producers, artisans, metal masters, machinists, scenic painters, and structural engineers. This enabled end-to-end project execution from concept and render through prototyping, fabrication, engineering sign-off, rigging, transport, and on-site installation, with a parallel rental division covering truss, lighting, geodesic domes, furniture, and art cars (most notably the 40-foot Disco Kitty).

Revenue was generated through project-based custom fabrication services (professional services model) and equipment/props rentals, with quote-based pricing per engagement. Go-to-market was enterprise field sales — direct, relationship-driven, and portfolio-led — targeting brands such as Nike, Disney, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, American Express, HBO, Sundance, Airbnb, the National Park Service, Pepsi, and KFC. Arch operated from 2010 until 2025, when it ceased operations and replaced its homepage with a dedicated 'CLOSED' notice.
