Read all about it! Acrylic LED cubes for The Huffington Post

In Mid July 2016 W&Co was approached by AOL to supply two illuminated acrylic cubes from the W&Co Nebula illuminated display range for an event for The Huffington Post UK. The cubes were used as part of an editorial project called Thriving Families, taking a look at the important role food plays in families and spearheaded by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. Dad-of-five, Jamie Oliver guest edited The Huffington Post UK on 15th July 2016 as part of the initiative to highlight how parents and children can thrive in today’s society. The event utilised the cubes specifically as a prop and focal point for photos and helped frame Jamie Oliver during the interview.

The Huffington Post, a Pulitzer Prize-winning source of breaking news, video, features, and entertainment, requested the two fully LED illuminated cubes to be created as part of the event which took place in their UK head office.  Each cube had to be easy to install, light enough to carry, evenly illuminate, and be branded with the HuffPost logo with printed and applied sign vinyl to each side of the cube. The units also had to be ‘plug and play ready’ so staff could use the units instantly.

The Nebula frameless acrylic cubes are part of the Nebula lightbox range, and are designed from white opal acrylic, with each cube internally lit by high brightness white LED's, giving even illumination throughout.  They are fully customisable and are available in a multitude of colours and effects from the Perspex range or other effects and graphics can be displayed by simply applying vinyl (or window cling print) directly to the faces of the lightbox. These acrylic LED lightbox cubes can be made to order as wall mounted, freestanding or ceiling hanging to suit your display requirements.

AOL requested that these cubes were to be able to free stand, and so sited perfectly at the centre of the event space (please see the images which accompany this editorial).

After the event W&Co was commended by Sophie Brugère, Marketing Executive, AOL UK, “The event was a great success, the boxes looked brilliant, we will continue to use them for future events.”.

W&Co’s LED light boxes in a world of their own!

The Eden Project recently made use of custom built EconoLite LED illuminated tension fabric light boxes for their current exhibition of the winners of the ‘Wellcome Image Awards 2016,’ featuring biomedical and clinical images including the brain’s nerve fibres, a photomacrograph showing delicate golden scales of a moth and a digital reconstructed skeleton!

Due to the nature of the exhibition W&Co recommended the EconoLite light box with a thin depth of 38mm, enabling the images to be displayed as flat to the wall as possible and to allow room between the designs so the audience can truly appreciate each image. The light boxes were all custom made to specifications provided by the client to best suit the images and the area where they were to be exhibited.

W&Co also printed tension fabric graphics for all the light boxes in the exhibition ensuring the prints were of the highest quality and the 2016 winning images were illuminated beautifully.

W&Co was delighted to have had the opportunity to help portray the most informative, striking and technically excellent images by some of the UK’s most creative scientists, clinicians, photographers and artists. The client confirmed they were happy with light boxes at the exhibition with the Marketing Director for the Eden Project, commenting, “The light boxes are up and running [and] have been very well received...thanks again so much for your help.”

As well as the individual tension fabric LED Light boxes, W&Co provided weather resistant Sabre LED lightboxes which are suitable for promotional posters in any environment - even a Rainforest! They come with a convenient “swing open” front cover frame and a snap open profile that made changing the HP Latex Polyester printed graphics we also provided an easy task for the client.

Barclays bank on W&Co’s tension fabric systems

W&Co has been privileged to supply Barclays Bank since 2014, rolling out tension fabric light boxes for their “Community Wall” displays starting in South Kensington and stretching to as far as Rome, Italy! The Community display walls consist of multiple A3 and A1 FabriLITE Slim LED light boxes complete with backlit tension fabric graphics, highlighting individuals and businesses who have used Barclays as their preferred banking partner in that particular area.

The walls are often combined with printed graphics and TV Screens to create a dynamic, mixed media display to catch the eye of potential customers and businesses. W&Co has also successfully provided the Barclays HQ in Manchester with our tension “ECO” FabriLITE LED light boxes which were installed over 7 floors and recessed flush into the corridor walls.

Barclays is currently issuing a nationwide “upgrade” of their branches, aiming to be as interactive and futuristic as other premium brands.

W&Co has supplied Barclays branches including; South Kensington, Piccadilly, Great Yarmouth, Warrington, Grays, Swansea, Maidstone, Leamington Spa, Eltham, Newcastle and Rome. Our FabriLITE light boxes were specified for this project at the design stage due to their high build quality and finish as well as their high brightness and even distribution of light at only 40mm depth.
