Our metalwork department had their work cut out for them. To minimize weight, the entire table was built from aluminum. For structural integrity, we used primarily 1/4" aluminum sheets, reserving thinner ⅛” sheets for the downstage and underside areas where load demands were lower.

​

Despite efforts to reduce mass, the table’s size and durability needs meant the final structure was still hefty. To manage weight while maintaining strength, every internal rib was CNC-cut with custom patterns, allowing blowthrough for maintenance and cable pass-through, while also shedding excess material. These internal channels made it easy to run cables for the mixer and integrated LEDs within the skeleton itself. In the end, Angelo was a beast, strong, sleek, and road-ready. It broke down into five separate pieces for travel. Though it stretched 16 x 4 feet during performance, it compacted to just 4 x 6 feet in the truck.
 

The final finish: a dark glitter-black shell with a high-gloss clear coat, giving the piece a futuristic edge. Nearly 160 feet of LED neon tape was embedded across every edge and face, turning the table itself into a glowing centerpiece. The lighting system featured five onboard control boxes, requiring only standard True1 power and Ethercon data lines to operate. Designed to mimic a modern moving light fixture, the table was built for ease and efficiency on tour.
