DesignArt London display uses Harlequin Hi-Shine

David Gill Galleries chose Harlequin Hi-Shine to complement a high quality exhibition display at the recent DesignArt London showcase event in Berkeley Square.

DesignArt London, described as “London’s first design fair devoted exclusively to modern and contemporary arts: the haute couture of the design world” took place in October. At DesignArt London, David Gill, who “works with designers of great reputation, but also has a mission to develop the major designers of the future,” chose to utilise the breathtaking wet-look finish of Harlequin Hi-Shine with stunning effect in a stand that integrated seamlessly with the display.

Harlequin Hi-Shine is proving a great success for exhibition, events and performance applications. It rolls out instantly to provide a perfect display floor. Hi-Shine has a special laminated hard polymer ultra-gloss surface, which is superior to urethane for scratch-resistance.
