Queen Elizabeth II opened a new exhibition with a royal connection at the British Library on Thursday.
The exhibition titled Royal Manuscripts: The Genius of Illumination features illuminated manuscripts collected by the Kings and Queens of England over 700 years from the 9th to 16th centuries.
For the first time, the riches of the Library’s Royal collection will be presented together in one exhibition, providing an insight into the past and understanding of Royalty in the middle ages.
The story of Austin Reed began 111 years ago in the hustle and bustle of Fenchurch Street, London. In July, 1900, Austin Leonard Reed made the first sale for the brand now synonymous with tailoring. In 1926, Austin Reed moved to 103 Regent Street and has provided stylish, expertly-tailored suits and shirts to London‘s men and women from these premises ever since. Austin Reed is now moving a short distance to one of London’s most iconic buildings. Relocating across the road to 100 Regent Street is the perfect opportunity to further enhance its status as a modern British brand whilst retaining a strong sense of history- it also ensures the brand continues to be inexorably linked to the capital’s home of tailoring.
Retail giant Primark has opened its fourth German store in Dortmund’s shopping centre, Thier-Galerie. The space covers over 4,830sqm across 3 floors.
One of the central focal points of the store is the elevator shaft. Stylo manufactured the self-adhesive film using our unique product “Ultra-clear”. The beauty of this material is its transparent effect so you are not completely blocking out the glazing, but it still gives you a striking effect. Also in the areas where you don’t print the film is totally clear so its like you are still looking through glass.
Graphics played a key role in the new Timberland store at Westfield Stratford. Dalziel & Pow’s design called for the use of illuminated images, the biggest of which was 5m x 3.5m. The key question from both Timberland and Dalziel & Pow was “how can we make graphics this size easy to update?” . Stylo came up with the solution of using our Fabrix system. This involves dye-sublimation printing to fabric, then a plastic extrusion is stitched to all edges which makes it easy to fix into the Fabrix Frame. Mock shop graphics where produced and fitted for client sign off.
Stylo’s graphics are literally travelling worldwide. From Sydney Australia to Tanzania we can create graphics for any occasion. We faced yet another challenge when we were asked by creative design agency client Wordcomm to produce a lightweight, waterproof banner that required extreme durability for the Equinix team climbing Mount Kilimanjaro last month.
Stylo have gone that one step further with their recent F1 Vodafone window display. Yet again their expertise in 3D theatre has shone through with this window display wowing hundreds of thousands of shoppers. The installation took place over night with the Stylo team, in collaboration with London based firms Ignite and Procar, working to a tight deadline to ensure the store was ready in time for its grand opening the following day.
