The project

What we did

Client: Arnette
Sector: Fashion & Sports
Area: Events
Type of work: Sports events
Location: Spain

Production and installation of the Arnette entrance arch for a skate event held on the beach. Unical Graphic took on developing the structure from the brand artwork, printing the tensioned banner, transport to site and installation on sand, leaving the entrance clearly marked and visible from the promenade.

The challenge

An event on the beachfront means working with no solid fixing points and with constant wind. The arch had to stand on sand, withstand exposure to salt air and be built and struck within a single day, with no heavy tools or lifting plant.

Our solution

It was resolved with a lightweight modular structure, braced and ballasted at the base, dressed with a large-format printed tensioned banner fixed with eyelets and cable ties all the way round to stop it flapping. The artwork was prepared at full size in Arnette's corporate typeface and colour, with a colour proof approved before printing. The unit was pre-assembled in the workshop, travelled broken down, and Unical Graphic's own team raised it on site, checking tensions and ballast before doors opened.
