Over 2000 m2 of flame-retardant ShowTex fabrics help recreate the atmosphere of the Amazon rainforest, immediately immersing the visitors of the exhibition in a sensory experience.
Black Choucroute Heavy adds texture and depth to the intriguing venue. On top of that, the open structure of the non-woven panels simulates the effect of natural light beaming through the thick rainforest canopy.
ShowTex also dyed 1000 m2 of inherently flame-retardant Velours Garnier CS in a custom colour, as requested by the architect. The velvet was then laser cut in the shape of an organic see-through pattern and attached to a black LaserVoile to support the design. All through the exhibit, these laser-cut panels help divide the spaces, while enticing visitors to cast a curious glance at what’s behind.
Well worth a visit!
