C ylindrical sculptures that taper off ran domly in all directions and transition seamlessly into cubes Undulating strips that seem to float freely sus pended from the ceiling What look like elab orate creations that appear to be skilfully crafted by hand are in fact elements of a fast construction system covered by textiles that can be dyed or printed with graphics or texts Around two decades ago manufacturer GVW was already a pioneer for systems featuring textile booth walls and ceiling coverings long before they became a dominating fash ion trend GVW thereby introduced new amor phous creations in the world of stand con struction And until this very day Flex Plain the company s patented system boasts some unique characteristics For Flex Plain GVW has developed special stretchy elastomer yarns to make otherwise rigid fabrics elastic But this is just one of the distinctive qualities of Flex Plain Like with other systems its frame consists of aluminium profiles featur ing grooves for piping to which the textiles are attached However the piping is made neither of plastic as is standard nor of aluminium Fashioned out of a silicone com pound it is also elastic This dual flexibility of fabric and fixtures enables the designer to construct completely flush crease free walls and outer surfaces of virtually any shape Be it as a ball cube or undulating strip be it concave convex or apparently seamless flat and smooth like a wall Thanks to Flex Plain stand builders do not have to think in modules Virtually all kinds of shapes can be realised according to the designer s specifications as GVW s managing director Dirk Wolff points out Moreover we offer no off the shelf materi als From cutting the fabrics to drilling milling or bending the profiles we deliver precisely according to customer specifica tions Flex Plain complies with all construc tion regulations The fabrics are permanently flame retardant according to German stan dards and sprinkler proof But another key advantage of the product is that it allows you to build booths with ease Based on a simple plug and screw system no tools are required for its assembly A hex key and simple con struction sketch are all you need to set up the aluminium construction with its textile coverings In principle the exhibitor can simply build it himself says Dirk Wolff This is a great advantage in countries like the USA where you can only hire local workers supplied by the trade unions Thanks to this system you can do without them GVW also has the right solution for those who not only want textile eye catchers but also a quiet zone for their booth the highly effective sound insulating Aix Silent wall with its sound absorbing acoustic sys tem The core of Aix Silent consists of high quality acoustic foam Hence the sound in sulating walls can be used to build quiet con ference spaces or work zones even for fair booths with a lot of visitor traffic in noisy surroundings They make ideal di viders between visitor areas and qui et zones Apart from exhibition stands the system is also the perfect choice for call centre booths and sep arate offices The walls can be cov ered by fabrics supplied by GVW which can be printed according to your requirements Thanks to Aix Silent you can simultaneously use the acoustic wall as an advertising space says GVW s managing direc tor Dirk Wolff This enables a high quality look and acoustics to go hand in hand at the exhibition stand www gvw group com JK 79TradeFairs Internation al 2 2016 PRACTICE STAND CONSTRUCTION SUPPLIERS Stuff stands are made of Flex Plain is a construction and tension system that can be used to realise nearly any shape according to the designer s specifications and build booths with ease Auf Messen lassen sich unterschiedliche Veran staltungszonen elegant abgrenzen The space can be elegant ly divided into separate areas for events at trade shows Ph ot o G VW
