Product Development by The Work Room

The Work Room works with individuals and companies to help produce samples and short runs of products for retail and wholesale. We also offer product development services which include creating patterns, spec and tech packages, sourcing manufacturers and overseeing every aspect of transforming a client's great idea into a product sold in stores. Here is an example of a travel accessory line called Travel Chic, who utilized our product development services.

This dress was created for Blue Man Group's first live tour. Worn in this photo by Annette Strean from Venus Hum, the dress was built to pulsate light along with the music.

Mix-Master-Mustard Costume

Mix-Master-Mustard was originally created for an advertising campaign to promote the opening of Blue Man Group's Chicago production. The character came back to life years later when the images were used for another online campaign created by Blue Man Group for the theonion.com, which ended up being one of the most successful campaigns theonion.com had hosted at that time.

Grayscale Dress for Animation

We've built many versions of the live wire dress for Blue Man Group through the years. This version is a replica of the pulsating wired dress in grayscale, so it can be easily animated in post-production.
