Thomas Sabo Love Fabric Face Light Boxes


Thomas Sabo, renowned for its high-quality and special design silver jewellery, chose W&Co's fabric face light boxes (http://www.w-co.co.uk/fabric-face-light-boxes.php) for their new retail store at Meadow Hall Shopping Centre in Sheffield. Driven by continuing success Thomas Sabo decided to set up its own retail outlets during the late 90's. In rapid succession, exclusive stores, shops-in-shops and sales agencies were established in many countries throughout Europe, Asia and America.

Before calling upon the expertise of W&Co, Thomas Sabo had installed large format light boxes with acrylic panels that bowed and flexed under the weight of the acrylic causing the backlit printed graphic to ripple and look untidy – we advised that the fabric face graphics would eliminate these problems with the added advantage of a completely frameless display that can be produced in one piece to much larger sizes than traditional acrylic faced light boxes.
The other major benefit is that the fabric face light box allows the print to be easily changed from the front using the specially designed rubber edging so that store staff can update the graphics themselves in a matter of seconds with no need for any specialist tools or installation teams.

At Meadowhall a 2m x 1m frameless light box was fully recessed in-between jewellery display cabinets to give a clean design finish with full focus on the colourful fabric printed graphic. Thomas Sabo who pride themselves on attention to detail, quality and keeping up with design trends are looking to continue using the fabric face light box system and Manchester's Trafford Centre store is next in line.

Georg Jensen model fabric face Light Boxes




W&Co’s high quality fabric face frameless light boxes (http://www.w-co.co.uk/fabric-face-light-boxes.php) were approved by Georg Jensen, the Scandinavian luxury lifestyle brand, for use within their retail stores selling the finest jewellery, silver, watches and home décor. Quality is clearly an important factor for this high end, long established brand and these light boxes met their very high standards.

The fabric face light boxes have been exported by W&Co internationally to Georg Jensen stores including Hong Kong, Australia and Denmark, with the most recent light boxes being fitted into their Flagship store on London’s Bond Street.

The illuminated displays have been supplied to make sure that Georg Jensen’s graphics make the biggest impact possible. They are produced in large format sizes from 1800 x 1200mm (6 sheet) up to 3500mm x 2500mm with the aluminium profiles powder coated grey to fit in with their shop colour scheme. Non-illuminated fabric face displays have also been supplied to compliment the light boxes in the Hong Kong stores.

The frameless light box design ensures that the focus is on the graphic and Georg Jensen have utilised this to show close up photos of jewellery printed onto the backlit fabric using a high resolution dye-sublimation process. The latest graphics are from a photo shoot in New York by fashion photographer, Sebastian Faena, as part of Georg Jensen’s new global campaign featuring Danish supermodel, Freja Beha Erichsen.
