Safe Colourful Shade
Challenge
The Campo Maior Flower Festival is one of the most famous festivals in Portugal.
The locals spend months carefully making hundreds of thousands of colourful creipe paper flowers the proudly string across the streets in the sunny summer months.
Can any other roofing option look so good and be so safe?
Solution
3 months of stitching dozens of hues of licra we decorated the streets of Campo Maior that were not destined to have flowers.
More than pure estetics, our rooves kept the millions of visitors cool on the blisteringly hot summer days,
casting colourful shadows around so as no single road would disappoint the masses. We paired our licra shadows with our irrigation system.

Madeira Crochet Avenue
Challenge
Break the mold and invent a new shade solution for the Madeira Carnaval in 2016 in Funchal.
The only fixation points were a line of trees and the front of the wooden stands that we could not damage.
Solution
We chose full bodied tones and laser cut the famous Madeira crochet patterns into our fabrics, installing them with a slant on coloured 5 tonne straps to maximise visibility, comfort and safety.
12hours with a mixed team of 4 pax and the event was set, the material was up for 2 weeks and there were no issues despite high winds.

Lionesa Launch Party
Challenge
No fixation points, very little time. Formal yet creative shade.
The client also requested help designing an area for the presentation of a maquette of their new building.
Solution
We used one of our classic collections: white sails.
We adapted each sail to the distance between trees, and even created fake walls out of smaller pieces.
We stitched a white licra cover for our smallest dome structure.
We put the maquette inside, waved our magic wand, and right on queue the dome levitated, amazing the spectators.

Organic Marquee under our famous bridge
Challenge
Build a roof in one day with no structure provided.
Solution
Creation of an organic marquee with illuminated licra posts that gracefully withstood strong atlantic winds.
A fluid stretch structure, beautiful inside and out.
We illuminated the columns from the inside as a finishing touch to give the event some extra shine.

Cascais Yacht Club | Annual Party
Challenge
Very few fixation points in an extremely windy long parking lot.
Solution
We created a stage that we covered in black and white carpet squares to hide the car park.
We used the upper balcony and made to measure metal posts to suspend especially designed white sails providing a layered effect.
We even added a recycled wood bar. Surprise: The Portuguese President even came to take a look.

Structures
We apply licra to metal structures that we design, to create tents, rooves and divisions. We specialise in designing aluminium truss structures to carry licra, yet we also work with metal posts, and our domes of course. We can design licra shapes to fit any structure.
