Stingray at HavExpo 2024, Bergen and AquaNext, Stavanger, Norway
Project Overview
Stingray, is an innovative start-up specializing in the production of devices designed to combat salmon parasites, sea leech, in sea farms. Acting on their behalf, well known Norwegian exhibit house NPG together with design studio KIND, had approached 2-expo to create an eye-catching exhibition stand for their debut at HavExpo 2024 and subsequent exhibition, AquaNext 2024 in Stavanger. The primary goal was to showcase Stingray’s cutting-edge technology while making a memorable impact on attendees.
Key Challenge
The most significant challenge for this project was the client’s unique request for the stand’s material. Stingray wanted a visually striking appearance using “smoked” hollow polycarbonate for the entire double-deck stand, which was not only unconventional but also required expert handling and craftsmanship. This choice of material was pivotal in reinforcing the company’s identity as an innovative solution provider within the aquaculture industry.
Solution and Execution
2-expo embraced this challenge by leveraging our expertise in material design and fabrication. We skillfully constructed the double-deck stand, ensuring that the “smoked” polycarbonate was seamlessly integrated throughout the structure. To enhance the aesthetic, the polycarbonate was additionally covered with brown, transparent, self-adhesive PVC foil, providing a contemporary and sophisticated look while still allowing the material’s unique properties to shine through.
Outcome
The final stand was a striking visual representation of Stingray’s brand and mission, drawing significant attention from attendees and industry professionals alike. The innovative use of materials not only set Stingray apart from competitors but also sparked conversations about their revolutionary approach to sea farm health management. The exhibition stand became a focal point of the event, contributing to increased interest and engagement for the Stingray team.
Conclusion
By addressing the unique needs of Stingray and leveraging our expertise in unconventional materials, 2-expo successfully delivered a standout exhibition stand that encapsulated the innovative spirit of the brand. The collaboration exemplified our commitment to pushing boundaries in exhibition design, ensuring that our clients make a lasting impression in their respective industries.
