Project Spotlight: SENE Studio

SENE Studio is a design-focused collection of truly custom-tailored goods built from scratch to fit you. Their collections are modern, functional, and offer fresh and sustainable alternatives to mass-produced clothes. SENE, originally based in New York City, reached out to XP Retail to work on their expansion to the West Coast. 

With two lightboxes, we completed their vision for an ultramodern space in their very first Los Angeles location. The first lightbox created a bold statement as customers walked into the showroom while the second helped pull your attention through the store and effortlessly transition into their corporate offices. 

The fabric change outs work perfectly with the SENE brand because it gives them the flexibility to change graphics with each season and helps them continue to showcase another unique application of fabric.

Project Details: 
Profile 120 Matrix Frame aluminum extrusion system with silicone edge fabric graphics (SEG) printed by dye sublimation on their exclusive Luxx fabric. XP Retail worked with SENE’s contractor to build a lightbox that could fit within a custom made, rotating swivel system, in order for it to be converted into a multi-functional door. The lightboxes also utilized LED’s that can remain on continuously without generating heat.  Frame and graphic installation by XP Retail.

Project Spotlight: Bonita Pina

On an extended family trip to Guatemala the Timmerman family found inspiration. They were not only inspired by the vibrant colors, fabrics, and style of the Mayan culture, but by the wonderful women there.  They built a relationship and provided design insights, to help the Guatemalan artisans showcase their traditional skills and techniques to create a one-of-a-kind accessory, the Bonita Band!

In addition to Bonita Bands, Bonita Piña also offers handmade, fashionable accessories from all over the world, like intricately beaded Mostacilla earrings or winter socks made from Alpaca wool. Bringing these products to the US creates income-generating opportunities for craftspeople in developing countries, while also allowing you to glimpse the exotic culture and rich history of the product's origin.

The Challenge: Now that Bonita Pina had a beautiful line of products they wanted to gain attention not only to their product’s beauty but to the wonderful artisans and their families in which lives are helped by supporting Bonita Pina. 

Project Details:  In addition to the beautiful booth that Bonita designed, a freestanding Matrix Frame Profile 200 Light Box with dye sublimation silicone edge fabric graphics (SEG) was added. This beautiful light box achieved a way to draw attention to not only their products, but their mission.

Belk Stores - Light Box Wrapped Columns

Belk Stores was looking for new and exciting ways to utilize their space around support columns.  Working with Matrix Frames we were are to create an eye-catching light box with one continuous silicone-edge fabric graphic that wraps all the way around the column.  The graphic is easy to change, and can make a completely different impact with a simple change of the image.
