FTA Film- und Theater-Ausstattung GmbH

FTA Film- und Theater-Ausstattung GmbH is a German rental and sales house for film, television and theatre set dressing and costumes. Operating from the major German media hubs of Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and Munich, the company maintains a fundus — a stock of period and contemporary furnishings, props and wardrobe — that it rents or sells to productions, advertising agencies, photographers and event organisers. According to its own website, the fundus covers roughly 33,000 square metres and holds more than 200,000 rental articles spanning many eras, from antiquity to the present and into futuristic interiors. Its core categories are furniture, lamps, fabrics, requisites (small props) and costumes. The company positions itself as a full-service partner for set dressing: if a requested item is not in stock, it draws on an extensive international network of manufacturers and cooperation partners to source it quickly, and it works with clients on individual solutions. It reports handling around 3,500 national and international projects each year across film, advertising, photo shoots and events, and it attends major national and international trade fairs to keep its range current. FTA also operates an online fundus catalogue, Fundus Online, and has entered partnerships such as a 2024 cooperation with rentitNOW. The company is a private limited liability company (GmbH) and is active as of the mid-2020s.
