Forms+Surfaces’ ability to offer one-stop shopping came in handy for the producers of The Terminal, a 2004 motion picture directed by Stephen Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks. A full-size airport terminal had to be built for the film complete with furnishings, retail outlets and all the amenities viewers would expect to see in a modern airport environment. One of the largest indoor movie sets ever constructed, the finished result has been widely acclaimed both for its authenticity and its breathtaking scale.

Working closely with set decorator Anne Kuljian, Forms+Surfaces provided The Terminal with custom flight information displays, custom stainless steel and glass display cases, Bonded Metal® planters, Universal litter receptacles and planters, custom phone booths and the beautiful red and black leather RS Seating seen in the terminal’s gate areas. The spectacular success of the film’s set design demonstrates that, even for a fictional terminal, the best resource was one that offers a comprehensive range of products made for the real thing.
