Dragon kites for Glasgow Museum

Glagow Museum used two of the super-large dragon kites as themed decorations for the entrance to the exhibition of Chinese culture.

Wing project for Magna Interactive Science Centre

We were comissioned to build a stylised wing which needed to double up as a projection screen.

The challenge was to produce something over 3m wide, to remain totally flat and to weigh less than 2Kg. Oh, and it had to pack flat and be assembled on site under hard-hat conditions.

The final design was executed in Chikara and 6mm Carbon/Kevlar tube forming a virtual torsion box with the fabric forming part of the structure.

Chinese New Year at Vodaphone HQ
