Gig: UNSW 75th Anniversary
Client: UNSW
Job: Signage Fabrication

Our clients keep coming back to us because we deliver custom solutions unique to each project.

UNSW came to us for a signage solution for an outdoor exhibition of photos celebrating their 75th anniversary and we knew that we had to go big. Our masterminds came up with a custom truss cube with aluminium panels cut and fit by our mate AG-FABS and vinyl decals by ScrimWorks for an impactful visual product.

With internal ballast and screwjack levelling system, the cubes are stylised to appear like they are floating on air. Exhibition lighting fixtures are rigged from the top to ensure these wonderful images can be seen at all times of the day and night.

Congrats to UNSW on turning 75 years young! We’re so happy to be a part of the celebrations.

This exhibition system is ready to hire for your next outdoor gallery show. Get in touch to find out more - www.dplr.com.au
