In 1984, John Wright and Frank Bencivengo were employed as executives for the Lexington Avenue Set Shop.
With their experiences in theater, design and management, they joined their resources and purchased the company to develop a business with unique talents.
Through long hours and dedication, they created a name, backed by its success, that became a leader in the entertainment industry as the most diversified design
and fabrication firm, Lexington Scenery & Props, Inc.
Lexington's early roots were formed in Hollywood films and television commercials. The company provided sets, props, models, graphics and other custom design
elements for many of the most detail-sensitive designers, production companies and directors. Lexington's reputation for imaginative solutions led directly to
a major contract to supply the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics Committee with key scenic elements.
With the Olympic experience Lexington's workload expanded to include Theme Parks and Attractions. In 1985, Landmark Entertainment contacted Lexington to
fabricate scenery for the Six Flags Power Plant project in Baltimore, Maryland. The company had built a reputation for having a professional business management
team, a technical and creative staff; and adhering to high standards. Our Work can be seen in Theme Parks, Casinos and Attractions throughout North America, Europe,
Asia, Russia, and Japan.
Lexington's first experience blending entertainment and education started in 1994. Lexington won a key contract to develop NASA's Space Center Houston exhibition
with BRC Imagination Arts. Since that time, we have created a growing number of museums and traveling exhibits for children and their families, such as Robot Zoo
for Clear Channel Exhibitions and the Apollo/Saturn V Visitor Center for Kennedy Space Center. Innovative techniques, dedicated research, and with a motivated team
of the industries best talents, Lexington continues to be at the leading edge.
By the early 1990's, retailers and restaurants were expanding, the success of themed entertainment helped create the "experience economy."
Lexington's team, with its growing diversity, began working with retailers and restaurants interested in theming their venues. Entertainment companies
like Disney and Warner Brothers turned to Lexington to develop their retail centers. Throughout the last decade retail and restaurant design has changed direction,
Balboa and xl lounge are part of a new era in the "experience economy".
With the addition of Richard Bencivengo as President and CEO in 2002, Lexington has acquired additional resources and has developed a new streamlined structure.
Richard brings senior management experience both in sales and marketing, and new direction for financial control of complex projects.
Lexington strives to continue doing the types of projects that rooted the company as we continue to research and develop new unexplored areas of work.
