Inspired by the classic British seaside postcard cartoon style, the creative team at The Icebox recreated this classic ‘cut out’ photo board for a recent industry event. This new ice sculpture design was created for the Confex 30th Birthday Party, held at Tobacco Dock and supported by ISES UK. Our creative team wanted to design an interactive ice sculpture feature as a fun photo opportu
The Icebox was commissioned by KTS Events to design, create and install a range of high-impact ice sculptures for their client, Audi. The brief was to incorporate a branding presence to the event, provide unique entertainment, and offer the guests a memorable experience.

I’m often asked, how on earth did you get into ice sculptures? You can picture the scene. I’m at a friends wedding a few weekends ago, in the beautiful county of Somerset on one of the rare sunny days, in a stunning stately home. The guests mix and mingle, and in that quintessentially ‘English wedding’ way, ask each other twenty questions, as happens when we meet someone that we don’t kn
