Custom Set Furniture & Period Pieces — Delivered Anywhere in the World
Big ideas, real impact.
Whether you're recreating a Victorian parlour, a space-age boardroom in 2899, or a diner from a dystopian future — JFIS has the capability to design, manufacture, and deliver exactly what your production needs, anywhere in the world.
Can't find the period-correct furniture your script demands? Need to replicate rare or one-of-a-kind pieces? Working from concepts, photographs, or production designs, our team works closely with yours to nail every detail — from silhouette and proportion right down to material and finish.
Our sets look real because we have over 15 years of experience making real interiors — for hotels, convention centres, and high-end residential developments — with the precision and detail that satisfies the most discerning clients. That same craftsmanship is now available to your production.
We've been trusted by New Zealand productions including Shortland Street — one of New Zealand's longest-running and most-watched shows with 455,000 viewers weekly — and have contributed joinery and furniture expertise to landmark projects including the $1.2 billion New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) in Auckland.
Whether you need hyper-realistic hero pieces for close-up shots or shells built to be blown up, destroyed, or launched into space — we have you covered.
Bespoke Film & Television Furniture Has Never Been Easier
We Build From Photographs
Have a photograph of a period piece your production needs but can't source? We manufacture directly from photos — filling in structural details, matching materials, and collaborating with your designers to bring the reference to life as a fully functional, camera-ready piece.
We Build Concept Furniture
Set in 3028? Need furniture for a space station, a dystopian colony, or a galaxy far, far away? We specialise in turning concept art and production designs into real, manufacturable pieces — working from your creative brief to produce actionable manufacturing drawings and finished furniture your camera will love.
We Build at Any Scale
Need enough period chairs to fill a diner? A full medieval banquet hall complete with long tables and carved wooden chairs? A sleek corporate boardroom for a tense showdown in 2099?
We manufacture exactly the quantity you need — from a single hero prop to enough pieces to fill an entire set. And when production wraps, real furniture can be sold, auctioned, or donated to charity — helping recoup production costs in a way foam and fibreglass props simply can't.
Complete Set Solutions — From Floor Plan to Final Piece
Working directly from floor plans, storyboards, and concept designs, JFIS can supply and coordinate complete set fit-outs — not just individual pieces. Our full customisation capability means we can match both modern and period aesthetics with precision, in the right proportions and the right materials.
We also supply material samples for screen testing ahead of manufacture — so you know exactly how every surface, finish, and texture will read on camera before a single piece goes into production.
We Work at Story Level
We don't just manufacture furniture — we embed with your team at the story and shot level to make sure every dollar in your production budget is spent in the right place.
Got one critical shot where a character opens a kitchen cupboard? We'll work with your shot list and storyboard to identify exactly which pieces need full interior detail — and which can remain a facade. The result is a set that reads perfectly on screen without unnecessary cost behind the camera.
In-Person & Remote Collaboration
No detail in a production is too small to get right. Our team can fly to your location and work directly with your props department, production designers, and set coordinators — planning layouts, reviewing hypothetical floor plans, and designing specialist pieces like open-backed closets for stunt access.
Prefer to work remotely? We run production meetings via Google Meet — no software to download, no friction. Just click the link and you're in the room with us.
