Recent Projects

Prada Marble made easy

To project the class and quality of Prada fashion, Stage One approached Vivad with the job of creating Faux marble sheets to furnish the inside of Prada's shop windows throughout Asia Pacific. The marble was created by printing directly onto 3mm matte acrylic and backing the print with white adhesive vinyl, for a surprisingly realistic result.

The Furies This year, Vivad was commissioned by artist Kate Just to produce outdoor art for International Women’s Day.

Artist Kate Just, chose Vivad to produce these sensational images to make up her exhibition “The Furies” which could be seen adorning the St Kilda Town Hall until June. For a closer look, Kate's web site is here

Benalla Art Gallery This gigantic Monet jigsaw puzzle was child's play for Vivad to create. The Monet image, Luncheon on the Grass, was printed directly onto rigid 3mm FOREX material and then router cut into the jig saw pieces. The art project was part of the Benalla art award aimed at getting the public involved in art.

Gorgonzola Gorgonzolla is the inflatable creation of Steve Howden of 3D Inflate. This monstrous inflatable fish was terrorising children at the Victorian Arts Centre in April of this year. Vivad printed the fabric sections which were then stitched together to form this formidable sea creature. To see more of Steve's work click here

X-Board

Would you believe that the following photo is of a cardboard replica of an auto-checkout machine? It looks like the real thing, but it is actually digitally printed directly to recycled cardboard (X-board), constructed and folded up to replicate the real thing. X-Board is strong, rigid and can be printed, cut, folded, glued and painted. Incredibly innovative designs of form and function such as this can be created with X board.
