Why van Straaten?

Van Straaten was selected by Facebook to help them design and create a visual stunning stand at the Global Marketing Solutions Summit, because of their experience with large surfaces, use of vibrant colors, expertise in aluminum profiles and use of lengthy textiles.

The summit was being held at the Moscone Center, the largest convention and exhibition complex in San Francisco. Van Straaten was challenged to match and align all colors and patterns at the Facebook stand in the Moscone Center, both on the wall, floor, escalator, and ceiling, using just 4 different materials.
