STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD
The Mylar Mirror is the innovative new material that is creating new possibilities for the future of exhibition stands. With companies constantly looking to stand out from the crowd at trade show events, the quest for unique and attractive displays is the main creative challenge. Thanks to some exciting new CGI concept designs, the manufacturers of the new Mylar mirror, Glass Installations Ltd., are now on the lookout for innovative exhibition stand designers to put the ‘mirror stand’ concept into practice.
Mylar Mirrors, which are made of metallic backed polyester wrapped around an aluminium frame, have the advantage of being extremely lightweight, making them easy and quick to install. The mirrors can be constructed in sizes not possible with glass and the flatness of the foil makes for an almost perfect quality reflection.
Using a computer generated model, designers at the marketing agency Creativsauce Ltd have developed an exciting concept of how the state-of-the art mirror material can add a new dimension to exhibition stands. Glass installations approached the design team to take an existing computer generated image of an exhibition stand design, and with some computer trickery, show how the mirrors can add a new dimension to an otherwise plain stand.
The model shows how a car stand for an Austin Martin DB9 has been enhanced with two huge Mylar mirrors harnessed above the car, allowing observers to see the car from an exciting, new angle and give the stand a unique and contemporary look. With the lightness of the new mirror material, exciting new possibilities like this are now achievable.
Managing director of Glass Installations, Bob Quarmby, explained, “Our new mirror produces an incredibly sharp and clear reflection.”
“This CGI image demonstrates that as well as their functional use, mirrors give the effect of adding space and can open up a small display area.”
The company have previously manufactured and supplied huge Mylar mirrors to high end fashion retail store ‘Joseph’ in London with stunning results and are now looking at exciting new applications of the mirror, one of which being exhibition stands. Foil mirrors have previously been used in displays by Sony at the IFA electronics show in 2008 to create an amazing endless exhibition space.
Set up in 1996 by Bob Quarmby, Glass Installations Ltd. began specialising in high impact mirrors to be used in the Leisure industry. In 2007 the company relocated to a larger site in Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire to begin production of a new Mylar Lightweight Mirror. This new product, made out of a state-of-the art glassless foil, has the advantage of being lightweight and has the capability to be produced in huge sizes.

Shoplaptop survey reveals people are taking their laptops to bed
A recent study has found that many people who own a laptop are browsing the web in their pyjamas for more than six hours a week. The survey conducted by Credant Technologies found that more than half of UK workers take their laptop or other mobile devices to bed and use them before they go to sleep.
Credant Technologies, a data protection company, surveyed 300 workers to uncover patterns of laptops use and security implications and 57 per cent of those said that they spend at least six hours a week doing work on their laptops from their bed before they go to sleep.
Most of them said that their companions found the habit “very annoying” and 8 per cent of the offenders admitted spending more time on mobile devices than talking to their partners each night.
Forty-four per cent of the respondents said they store important work documents on their mobile devices and 54 per cent of those devices lacked encryption. One-fifth of the respondents acknowledged using wireless networks that aren’t secure while they work in bed.
VP at Credant, Michael Callahan, said, “This survey confirms that there is a growing population that is no longer restricted by working hours or confined to the office building itself. "People are mobile and will work anywhere -- even in bed. Therefore, when sensitive and valuable data is being held on these devices and they get lost, it can have pretty detrimental and far-reaching consequences to both the worker and their employer."
The survey also revealed that eighty-seven percent of respondents favour connecting to the Internet via wireless networks while in bed. Forty-seven percent said they connect to wireless networks in hotels without thinking about security.
Credant advised the 4 per cent of respondents who said the last thing they do before going to sleep is to check their e-mail messages and complete work to "take a long, hard look at their gadget-obsessed lives."
The company also advised encryption of data stored on mobile devices, the use of strong passwords, awareness of all points of connection, turning off unsecured Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices, and leaving the laptops behind at bedtime.

Massive Mirrored Wall Reflects a Unique Interior Space
Mirror manufacturer Glass Installations have completed their biggest and most challenging project to date by manufacturing two huge mirrors covering the entire back wall of luxury fashion label ‘Joseph’s’ flagship London store.
Completed in March of this year, the innovative new store design by Design Research Studio Ltd, founded by internationally renowned designer Tom Dixon, coincided with the re-launch of the Joseph label’s brand. The 4 metre x 8 metre ‘wall of mirrors’ aim to give an illusion of doubling the space of the Mayfair store’s new sharp, industrial theme.
Stoke-on-Trent based Glass Installations used their latest lightweight foil mirrors for the project, which are made of aluminium coated foil wrapped around an aluminium frame. The product was selected due to its almost perfect clarity and the ability to be produced in large sizes up to and beyond 8 metres in length. The Joseph store mirrors represent the largest mirrors the company has produced to date.
Lead Senior Designer for the store refitting, Helene Andersen at Design Research Studio, had the task of creating the new store layout, and explained “Joseph wanted the store to reflect their new ‘rock and roll’ identity.” The final design went for a rough, minimalistic aesthetic, using sharp, industrial colours with a spacious layout. The mirrored wall idea was conceived to enhance the illusion of space in the store.
The designers required a solution for the mirrored wall idea which could be easily installed in as few panels as possible, while producing a perfect reflection. Helene and her team discovered the lightweight foil mirror, produced by Glass Installations and contacted managing director Bob Quarmby to discuss the project. They decided on two 2x8 metre mirrors, stacked horizontally, one on top of the other.
Installed in time for the store launch party, the mirrors have become a big hit with customers. Store manager Jenny Mace remarked, “We all absolutely love the mirror, it gives customers quite a surprise when they realise it’s a mirror!” The mirrors have achieved the goal of creating an innovative retail space, as well as a unique talking point.
Set up in 1996 by Bob Quarmby, Glass Installations Ltd. began specialising in high impact mirrors to be used in the Leisure industry. The company’s latest product, glassless foil mirrors, have been supplied to dance studios and used in film set designs, including an upcoming movie starring Nicole Kidman, to be released later this year.
Blendworth expands with the launch of its contemporary Wallpaper and Fabric Collections
Blendworth expands with the launch of its contemporary Wallpaper and Fabric Collections
Under the influence of new Head Designer, Steve Dobinson, Blendworth is delighted to announce the introduction of a stunning new range of ‘must-have’ wallpaper designs, entitled ‘Paper Trail’. To complement these modern designs and its rapidly expanding portfolio of fabric collections, Blendworth is also launching the elegant and romantic Charleston and the dramatic yet chic, Mayfair range all of which offer creative and unique finishing touches.
With the innovative use of metallic and iridescent inks, ‘Paper Trail’ is a modern wallpaper collection across five dramatic designs. Lexington Paper and Bayswater Paper have been created to work in harmony with the Mayfair fabric collection whilst Linden Paper and Radcliffe Paper have been designed with the Charleston fabrics in mind. Starburst Paper is a soft geometric pattern which can be used along side the new fabrics or as a modern wall covering in its own right.
‘Mayfair’ is a collection of sophisticated prints and weaves with a distinctive mix of pattern and contemporary use of colour, inspired by the glamour and finesse of a boutique hotel. The key design feature to this range has been created through the innovative use of foil accents which can be seen running through the metallic vine pattern on the Lexington design, off-set by a graphic shadow effect. In keeping with the luxurious theme, Metropole and Tribeca use a clever Ombre weave effect to produce an eye-catching ripple of colour in both a fashionable ‘Ogee’ motif and soft stripe, whilst Delano offers a printed barcode stripe. Bayswater is a bold floral print combined with a whimsical foliage silhouette which sits comfortably within the collection along with Astoria, a truly decadent silk and Soho, a texturised semi plain fabric offering a real retro feel.
Inspired by the charming historic town in America, the ‘Charleston’ collection conjures up feelings of picturesque coastal gardens and elegant colonial homes. This is illustrated perfectly with the gentle meandering Wisteria and Passion Flower trail used in Veranda and the soft quill style feathers featured in Seabrook. The woven, Promenade design offers a crisp satin ribbon stripe whilst Edisto is a soft check with a relaxed comforting feel. Another design in the collection is Radcliffe, a faded damask subtly highlighted using flecks of metallic, printed on a rustic cotton/linen mix cloth. Linden uses a similar effect to highlight the leaves on this printed vine design. To complete the range is a distressed medallion weave known as Beach House, which works together with Bayview, a heavy duty plain, both ideal for upholstery.
Also available is an elegant dual-purpose plain fabric, ‘Palmetto’, with a subtle ‘polished’ finish to give a contemporary edge. Palmetto is a versatile linen/viscose fabric suitable for drapes and upholstery, achieving 30,000 Martindale. It is available in thirty colours ranging from classic Parchment and Claret to modern Fennel and Mocha.
