Case Study: Comfort Fabric Banners
The Brief:
Forge Media came to us with a unique situation: how do you turn LED displays in a Mall situation into tactile branding for one of their top clients?
The Process:
Working closely with Nick and Sanne from Forge Media we agreed that we initially wrapped LED plinths with foam (to create the 'soft' effect), and then fit a lycra sock over the unit.
We spent several early mornings testing and measuring at our local Bayfair Mall, along with a visit to WestField in Newmarket.
Colours were tested with proofs to Forge to approve. When the order was dispatched, to the various national locations, installations instructions were included.
The Result:
The feedback from the Mall owners were that "people would stand around these display, and just poke it and touch it!"
Nick and his crew at Forge were great to work with. They understood the uniqueness of the situation, and that there was a real cost of time and product in testing - but ultimately Forge and their client were thrilled with the result!
Case Study: Chivas Branded Bar and Lamp Shades
The Brief:
The Total Event came to us with a double request. Firstly, to rebrand the fabric panels under the Deck Bar, with Chivas branding. Secondly, to create Chivas branded lamp shades - for their client, Sky City.
The Process:
We worked with both Tania and Lucy from The Total Event, within the tight time frames allowed. Colour matching and fabric sampling were soon conquered, and a 'clever' production method used to brand the inside of the lamps, yet create a block out effect from the outside. The fabric panels, printed onto a Satin fabric, needed to be 'lined up', upholstery stapled, and installed back in place. Installation was outsourced and too place on the premises.
The Result:
The ultimate client (Sky City) was thrilled with the end result. The new look, just in time for the RWC, transformed a tired looking bar, into a branded spectacle. Total Event's Lucy and Tania chose Textiles Alive because of the 'Outside the Box' approach.
