Demon-Inside-Kabuki Art
Kabuki is a Japanese performing art utilising dance, drama, costumes, and make-up. Colourful kabuki emblems have been applied to the body as tattoos, which sometimes appear frightening, as if there was a demon inside the body full of evil. The designers of this work attempted to access that dark side of the imagination in this T-shirt.

Royal Rainmaking Project
Most Thai people depend on agriculture, but crop production often suffers from drought because of a lack of rainfall during the long dry season. His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej (who died in 2016) inaugurated the Rainmaking Research and Development project, intended to increase cloud density and the amount and extent of rainfall.

Large textile printing format, including sublimation on canvas for outdoor advertising
A life-size car box created within the framework of the campaign designed for MUBIL by advertising agency Dimension, Druck has manufactured a support that exposes an electric vehicle (Tesla) to people who walk past. Different rigid and flexible materials were used to manufacture the structure of the box and produce the graphics that surround it. The particularities of this support are precisely the dimension and the specific requirements of the project: real-size manufacturing designed to remain outdoors for a long time through durability and resistance.

Valencia Clinical Hospital
Covering part of the façade of this hospital featuring 209m2 of canvas was a challenge. The substrate was printed and micro-perforated with double reinforcement and TIR eyelets every 50cm. The choice of technique is intended to ensure durability in windy and rainy conditions and quick installation once the frame is mounted. The canvas was printed on 3.2m-wide micro-perforated canvas coils using Ynta ecosolvent and heat-sealed together. The cloths are heat-sealed together to achieve large-sized canvases.
