Tension Fabric and Textile Finishing

 

Fabric is our passion and we are not afraid to push the limits. Our history lies in designing and creating fabric architecture and exploring the vast world of textiles. Our team is always on the lookout for new fabrics to test and put into action, both printable and non-printable. Fabric is not one-size-fits-all. We collaborate with you to ensure selection of the best fabric for the application, brand and space.

Fabric in architecture allows you to capture and define space while evoking an emotional response from the participant. The nature of fabric offers a freedom not available with other materials and construction methods. Fabric breaks the ‘rules’ of conventional practices, allowing you to explore new possibilities and make a progressive impression in a visual space.

Metal Engineering and Fabrication

 

The versatility of our skilled metal shop provides the opportunity to use a variety of metal options within a design solution. Whether creating a backbone covered with fabric or a decorative metal feature, the structural frame is treated like a work of art. Our unique assembly techniques make installation effortless without sacrificing strength or integrity.

As each custom structural solution presents its own unique specifications, it is up to our experts to identify challenges and produce safe, workable solutions. Our skilled engineers work in the virtual world to create real world solutions. Structural engineering accounts for design intent, installation method and structural integrity, including engineer stamped drawings.

Lighting Integration

 

Incorporate lighting within custom design solutions for maximum impact. We have experience with a variety of lighting types and techniques and never shy away from exploring new and emerging technologies. We collaborate with you to understand the desired effect and then develop the best solution to bring it to life.

Our experience includes light boxes, RGB and RGB-W LED lighting, edge lighting, recessed lighting within fabric structures, lighting fixture integration, and wire management within custom manufactured structures.

We believe in exploring the infinite possibilities of materials. Our acoustic felt is no exception. As design opportunities align with the personality or sound quality of the material, we will prototype finishing techniques and mixed material integration in order to create a sound captivating solution.
