Aquis Park - Racing Industry Awards

Posted: 29th July 2020

Posted in: Laser Etching & Router Cutting, Custom Awards & Event Collateral

Aquis park had their annual racing industry awards in August of 2019, which celebrates the season and awards those who have been outstanding in their field. We were able to design and produce a custom presentation box to house a golden horseshoe, which was supplied by the client.

The box itself has been hand veneered, featuring laser etching and a laser cut filigree design. The purple behind the laser cut filigree really helps make the design pop, and breaks up the timber tones nicely. This piece also features gold mirror details with the client’s logo, to add a touch of luxury. Inside the horseshoe fits snuggly within the custom foam holder.

Norbit Awards 2017

Posted in: Laser Etching & Router Cutting, Custom Awards & Event Collateral

We recently found this project back in our 2017 archives! We had the opportunity to put these awards together for Norbit, a multibeam sonar manufacturer that provides services around the globe. Norbit provided us with a sonar image of a seabed, with this in mind we were able to put together a custom design featuring one of their sonar map images, that is able to reflect the different depth levels.

This trophy comes to life through the use of layered acrylic and timber sections. The timber features the laser etched title and branding, and the printed acrylic builds up the sonar map depths creating a 3D map effect.

Nautique – Dealers Awards

One of the more recent projects we have worked on for Nautique are the 2019 Dealers awards. The Nautique brand are always encouraging and rewarding their stockists and staff for their achievements and progress.

The trophies have been designed to be very geometric and angular, which merges in with the Nautique action sport branding. Through the use of timber, acrylic, anodised aluminium and exposed dome screws, this design provides a very tactile and stylish solution for any awards event. Having a gap between the acrylic and aluminium also provides an added sense of depth throughout the piece.

Sound Society - Feedback Boxes

Our friends at the Brisbane City Council recently approached us again to create feedback boxes for their Sound Society event. These events showcase live music from varying artists, and encourage people to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. A simple design featuring the sound society branding was approved for production.

The production team were able to bring these boxes to life by utilising our CNC Router and joinery techniques. We then laser etched the sliding lid, and assembled to get the finalised product. These boxes are perfect to gain valuable feedback and suggestions from patrons who attend community events, so that considerations can be made for future events.

Charter - Spectrum Mobile

The industrial design team at Charter Communications approached us with a concept they had in mind for a small desk size trophy. Charter Communications, Inc. is an American telecommunications company that provides services to over 26 million customers and is the second-largest cable operator in the United States.

After discussion and prototyping with our design team, a finalised trophy was put in to production. The final design features layers of acrylic, laser cut at varying angles is housed in a hand veneered box. The box features subtle embossed embellishments on 2 sides, and a black acrylic title plate on the adjacent side.

This design is aesthetic from all sides, due to the angles used throughout the acrylic elements.

It was great to collaborate with the team at Charter and to bring their design to life.

Amazon SaaS Awards 2020

We were honored to collaborate with Amazon on this project. Amazon Web Services SaaS Factory is the technical side of Amazon. It provides direct access to technical and business content, best practices, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for their clients.

When it came to design the award, we started off with a solid piece of American walnut milled to shape. We then chose to embellish custom laser cut pieces of maple, to give it a nice color contrast and to add depth. We then finalised the piece by laser etching the award details.

Baptist Care - Sample Board

Posted: 17th June 2020

Posted in: Laser Etching & Router Cutting, Detailed Joinery & Graphic Fit-Outs, Point Of Sale & Marketing Material

BDA Architecture recently contacted us requesting a wall mounted sample board for one of their clients. We put together a design that utilises their branding guidelines, as well as showcases the three colour schemes that will be available. This resulted in a large and beautifully finished board that fit all of the client’s requirements into one display.

For this piece we CNC Routed solid Oak, giving it perfect hand finished corners. The timber was white washed to coincide with the branding guidelines and give a softer edge to the timber than a stark white. The white cover board has printed titles that marry up with the displayed samples.

Sample Boards are in high demand at the moment! Contact us today to see how we can design yours.

Magic Millions Country Cup 2020

Posted: 10th June 2020

Posted in: Laser Etching & Router Cutting, Custom Awards & Event Collateral, Detailed Joinery & Graphic Fit-Outs

We were super excited to work with the Magic Millions Carnival this year. Attracting global attention, this race meeting is one of the top 10 richest in the world!

The trophies that we designed for the Country Cup highlight the prestige that comes with winning the event. The elements featured within this trophy include gold mirror acrylic and timber, which have both been laser cut and etched. Another cool feature is the blue aluminium used in the shadow of the horse head. This was achieved using a process called anodisation, which gives the metal a very rich colour.

These elements come together to create a sophisticated and unique trophy, fit for a Magic Millions race win. We love how these trophies turned out, and hope to do more projects like this in the future!

Aether Award 2020

Posted: 3rd June 2020

Posted in: Design & Illustration, Laser Etching & Router Cutting

We recently worked on an exciting project with Tributary Design studio to design and produce an award for one of their clients.

The award was designed around the 4 core values of the company with their logo being the centre-piece. The trophy begins with layers of printed acrylics in a variety of colors, in order to create a warm gradient effect. We then placed laser-etched timber on either side of the piece, introducing a softer, more organic feel.

Gilimbaa Signage Fitout

Posted: 27th May 2020

Posted in: Design & Illustration, Laser Etching & Router Cutting, Detailed Joinery & Graphic Fit-Outs

We were recently approached by Gilimbaa to help with a creative fit out for one of the Shell offices. Gilimbaa are a Brisbane based company who specialise in strategic and connected communication design, for and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. This office fit out design allowed us to work with shapes and experiment on our machinery in ways we normally wouldn’t get the chance to.

These room signs were CNC Routed out of solid pieces of Tasmanian Oak, allowing beautiful blonde tones to be showcased through the final project. We were able to incorporate a rounded more natural edge to give the shape a more organic look. Laser etching was utilised for the text and imagery, which has reinforced the natural and flowing style of this project.

This was a really fun project for us to work on. We accomplished some great results and learnt some new techniques along the way!

San Fernando Farms - Honey Jar Lids

Posted: 20th May 2020

Posted in: Laser Etching & Router Cutting, Point Of Sale & Marketing Material

San Fernando Farms are a Californian family owned business, which specialise in making 100% Pure Organic Honey amongst other organically grown produce. To give their brand a point of difference, we worked with the owners to create hexagon shaped jar lids that correlate back to the logo and the nature of a beehive.

The lids are constructed from a solid hardwood timber that comes in varying honey-like tones. We branded the lid with a tactile laser etched logo on top. As the laser burns the logo into the timber, this ensures no matter how many hands have opened the jar, the logo will still stay pristine. We then created some custom labels for the jar to add some colour and contrast to the timber.
