VISITORS to designEX will be greeted with a collection of large floor-to-ceiling petal forms.

Called ‘Outstretched’, the petals are individually shaped and assembled as vivid, glossy structures.
A collaboration between Sydney Stretch Ceilings and DesignInc, the feature demonstrates flexibility of French stretch ceiling product, Barrisol.
The recyclable PVC membrane is suspended by a lightweight perimeter track, allowing for a multitude of uses beyond ceilings. It can be curved, backlit, printed on and suspended. Applications include residential, maritime and commercial projects with its acoustic and illuminative properties.
The product was recently used in the digital origami tiger sculptural installation designed by LAVA that featured at Sydney’s Custom House for Chinese New Year.
At 2.5m x 7m each, the tigers weighed 200 kg and were a striking sight in backlit vivid orange.
Sydney Stretch Ceilings and DesignInc have also collaborated on the casual lounge project at MLC’s North Sydney Campus in 2009.
Barrisol is available in Australia from Sydney Stretch Ceilings in more than 130 colours and 10 different finishes.
designEX will be held at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre April 22-24, 2010.
