FKB, LLC

What FKB, LLC does

FKB, LLC is a full-service design and fabrication studio headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, operating as a subsidiary of Aardvark Studios. Formed in 2021 through the merger of FK Productions and B Fabrication, the company delivers physical and digital experiential environments for brands, agencies, civic organizations, cultural institutions, and real estate developers. Its work spans civic placemaking, retail and entertainment fit-outs, museum exhibits, experiential marketing activations, large-scale art fabrication, and AR/VR-driven hybrid events.

The studio operates two integrated service lines. Design & Fabrication covers the full project lifecycle — industrial design, engineering, CNC machining, 3D printing, laser cutting, custom thermoforming (including a proprietary large-format oven and Corian vacuum machine capable of 40-foot sculptures), and on-site installation. Digital & Experiential extends these capabilities into motion capture, AR/VR production, virtual event spaces, and hybrid physical-digital experiences such as the AKU digital explorer and the Cooltopia NFT installation. The in-house toolchain includes parametric modeling (Grasshopper), Arduino-based LED control systems, and NFC-enabled audience engagement hardware.

Commercially, FKB generates revenue through custom, project-based professional-services engagements acquired via direct enterprise sales, competitive pitches, and a network of creative-agency partnerships (Random Studio, Momentum Worldwide, Little Cinema, Digitas Health). Pricing is bespoke and per-project, with no standardized tiers. Marquee clients include Nike, McLaren Formula One, Prime Video, Toyota, American Express, Farfetch, Red Bull, Stella Artois, Di Bruno Bros., Mariah Carey, and the Faith and Liberty Discovery Center, with work spanning multiple U.S. states. The company has no disclosed institutional funding and operates as a privately held LLC under Aardvark Studios.
