OVERVIEW: 

OneFrame was commissioned to design and manufacture a series of illuminated lightboxes for airport deployment—delivering a solution that balanced visual impact with everyday functionality. The client’s brief was clear: the system needed to provide smooth, vibrant, edge-to-edge illumination that captured attention, while also allowing for simple, cost-effective graphic updates that could be carried out by non-technical staff.

To meet these requirements, the lucent™ illuminated fabric system was selected as the ideal solution. This purpose-built system combines precision-engineered aluminium frames, dye-sublimated fabric graphics, and a proprietary LED lighting array tailored specifically for fabric illumination. The result is a frameless, seamless visual display that ensures maximum messaging impact—free of shadows, hotspots, or visual interruptions.

Each unit was custom-manufactured to specification, allowing integration into existing architectural features while maintaining visual consistency across locations. The lightweight fabric graphics are printed in high resolution and can be replaced without tools or specialist skills—making them ideal for environments where frequent campaign changes are required.

Beyond performance, lucent™ sets itself apart through full local compliance. It remains the only illuminated fabric system in the New Zealand market with independently verified certifications for both fire safety (FR) and electrical compliance—ensuring the product meets the stringent requirements of high-traffic public spaces like airports. All fabric substrates have also undergone testing and certification by BRANZ, further reinforcing our commitment to safety and quality assurance.

For airport environments where brand presence, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable, lucent™ offers a fully integrated, best-in-class solution—designed, engineered, and made in New Zealand.
