The much anticipated Sneaker Exchange event was brought to The Sands in Johannesburg on Saturday, 6 November 2016. Tungsten were commissioned by Witch & Wizard to produce custom display furniture for Nike, elements included LED-lit glass-top display tables filled with the latest and trendiest Nike gear and sneakers, a Neon tube light Nike logo and 135 wheat-pasting posters wrapping the bar counters and serving areas. Tungsten Design designs and fabricates bespoke branding, exhibitions and retail POS elements.
Tungsten were approached by Qualcomm, an American multinational semiconductor and telecommunications equipment company that designs and markets wireless telecommunications products and services, to produce plinths, objects and markers for an 'Invisible Museum' on their exhibition stand at Africacom 2016. The 3D-design plinths were fitted with internal LED lights and diamond-shaped Perspex inserts while on top were SAV-printed markers that brought all four 3D-printed objects to life.
Tungsten continues with the world's largest satellite company at various events in South Africa and around the world and for the fifth year running we have produced a spectacular exhibition strand for Intelsat at the Africacom exhibition in Cape Town. The 65sqM double-story stand features a fully functional coffee and drinks station, a lockable storage facility, a reception desk and a private six-seater boardroom. Intelsat is the leading provider of fixed satellite services worldwide with a fleet of approximately 50 satellites, covering 99% of the world’s population.
After weeks of planning and designing from a structural engineer's and artist's point of view, the Figure 8 'Stage' was set for the MTN 8 Final which took place at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit. Tungsten were commissioned to build a Figure 8 Stage for the trophy hand-over and post-match presentations that needed to be carried onto the field and set up in under 15 minutes. A second stage was built in the stands to accommodate live performances including Mi Casa who entertained the crowd during the half-time break.
