Why Van Straaten?
It was an honor that our client Solid Light, Inc. selected Van Straaten Group’s US subsidary CEES SMIT, Inc. to contribute to the visual storytelling of this great project. Van Straaten was selected due to its experience with creating visually engaging exhibitions, fast way of working and eye for detail.
How we work
For the general exhibit, a collection of historic flags were printed on Blockout Stretch and framed onto our single sided aluminum extrusion profile, type Heavy 27, and they were hung from the ceiling throughout the exhibition. Sizes varied.
For a temporary exhibit named “Greenback America”, that visualizes what role money played during the war, a number of historic dollar bills were enlarged and displayed as pillow cased graphics on 3,8 cm round tube frames. The material used was Blockout Stretch. The level of details, finesse and craftsmanship are evident throughout the entire museum, and it has been great to see great things created with a high level of professionalism, which both companies stand for.
