stylemax booth gets pimped out



Last fall, Michelle Alcott & Associates contacted us wanting something striking and original for their booth at STYLEMAX, a quarterly women's apparel and accessory trade show that brings buyers what’s hot, what’s happening and what’s next in the marketplace. The show houses upwards of 4,000 resources in more than 200,000 square feet at The Merchandise Mart in Chicago, so as an exhibitor, you wanna stand out amidst the madness. We put our in-house designer, Jeremy, on the case who conjured up this mural of blik Chandelier in graphite and snow. It shows how much you can do with just one design on one wall. You can overlap, repeat, even trim the same graphic to create your own custom artwork. Don't be afraid to think outside the box when you blik out your space. Thanks MA&A for sending these pictures along; we're glad to hear you're planning to use the wall for upcoming shows.

I think this use of BLIk is sensational! How did they do this? An absolute triumph!

Thanks for the very kind words! And though I would never want to take anything away from our fab designers, you could easily recreate this at home. The graphics are blik Chandelier in snow and graphite (you can custom color most blik for about $10). What makes this so eye-popping, I think, is the way Chandelier is overlapped and the chain lengths, varied. Great illustration of how 1 pattern can be arranged by folks at home in a myriad of ways!
