The structure turned heads at their latest show, the Perth 4WD and Adventure Show, and made a positive impact in bold black, which made their yellow Line-X logo pop.

Environmentally friendly wood and stretch fabric stages

FESTIVAL CLIENT – Tommy Lyle, Wood of a Kind

Wood of a Kind Stage and BedouinFlex fabric

Wood Stage and BedouinFlex fabric (Tommy Lyle, Wood of a Kind)

We first chatted to Tommy Lyle of Wood of a Kind from Boulder Colorado back in January, 2016. We instantly resonated with his philosophy and approach to his craft. He is a rustic wood worker and festival stages are just one of the ways he expresses himself.

For his first project working with us, he chose Bedouinflex Premium fabric for the canopy of the stage in order to insulate and waterproof the wooden structure. He was pleased with how easy it was to work with the fabric. The concept: the stage needed to be permanent, but the waterproof canopy would be assembled and disassembled according to the up-coming event.

This was a particularly large structure (90” x 50”; 27m x 15m) but the fabric is so lightweight that he was able to wash it himself and only needed the assistance of one other colleague to put it up.

Wealth in Sharing

Stretch Marquee and Fabric Structures, SEAM School -in-a-Box and Stephen Collier

‘We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.’ Winston Churchill

Surely one of the greatest things a human being can do is share their talent and abilities to better the lives of others. Well, that’s exactly the situation we found with SEAM (Sustain Education Art Melanesia) who provide a creative learning environment for making books and SEAM Design Manager Stephen Collier of Stephen Collier Architects, Australia. They set their sights on Papua New Guinea and it’s rural communities who need education facilities and support.
