Kahtoola Tests Our Ingenuity With a Brand New Installation

 

This month we were presented with an awesome challenge by the folks at Flagstaff’s own innovators in outdoor sports technology, Kahtoola!  Normally when a client orders two large-format images to be mounted, laminated and installed we respond with “No problem!”  This time, however, they added a little twist to make things interesting.

Not only did they want the two sixty-inch images, but they wanted one of them to split down the middle and roll apart to reveal a brushed aluminum dry-erase board.  Now I know what you’re thinking, impossible, right? Well, not for us, it’s not. After a little brainstorming and a lot of elbow grease we were able to come up with a beautiful dry-erase board hidden behind a misty scene from the Patagonia region.  Thanks to the Kahtoola team, and not just because we got some new t-shirts out of the deal!
