Hand-wrapped cotton batting clouds and long-pile flocked lion figures Window Display props

Brunello Cucinelli’s holiday brief- a render showing a softly mounded, uneven cotton-batting surface that evoked both a winter sky and the brand’s commitment to pure natural wool. The task was to translate that tactile, atmospheric quality into a set of props capable of being manufactured at volume, packed efficiently, and installed quickly by in-store teams across multiple locations.
The answer to the softness problem was direct and material: rather than attempting to simulate cotton through paint or flocking, we proposed wrapping each finished FRP shell in a loose, uneven layer of raw cotton batting. The irregularity of hand-application is the effect

The softness of pure wool — made tangible in structure, surface, and light.

Fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) forms the structural core of every cloud and lion prop. Its key advantage here is the combination of low weight, mouldability to complex organic profiles
Raw cotton batting on cloud surface. At the thicknesses used, batting diffuses form edges, creates gentle tonal variation as light passes through different densities, and carries an unmistakable reference to natural fibre.
The cloud surface finish required deliberate inconsistency- thicker at the mass centres, thinner and more translucent at the edges.
No adhesive is visible at the outer layer.
The lion sculpture props were flocked using an in-house electrostatic flocking line.
Fibres ranging from 0.3 mm to 2 mm were applied in a controlled sequence to build up a surface with directional pile variation
Production opened with 3D modelling from the client’s supplied cloud silhouette drawings
Moulds were pulled from the printed masters and FRP shells cast in volume from the approved set.
Then go for cotton batting and flocking on props surface, that keeping each processing under our control



100% In-house control of every process stage — from mould production through paint, batting, and flocking — allowed us to maintain consistent quality across the full volume of props and provide the client with accurate, reliable production milestone updates throughout.
The flat-pack structure kept logistics straightforward and reduced damage risk in transit.

A structured workflow that keeps the brand in control from brief to delivery.
References, dimensions, quantity and finish confirmed up front.
Full renders and technical drawings shared for client sign-off before any physical work.
A single sample is produced and documented for feedback and approval.
Approved units manufactured, quality-checked and flat-packed for shipping.
We love to get involved from the concept stage — turning your ideas into beautifully made, production-ready displays.
