OVERVIEW:

OneFrame was commissioned to design and manufacture a series of illuminated lightboxes for a major airport upgrade — delivering both high visual impact and functional performance.

The client’s brief called for a system that would provide smooth, even illumination with vibrant colour reproduction, ensuring maximum brand presence in a busy passenger environment. In addition, the solution needed to be user-friendly and cost-effective to update, as graphics would be changed regularly by on-site staff with minimal technical experience.

The lucent™ illuminated fabric system proved to be the ideal choice. Purpose-built as a complete solution, lucent™ integrates a fabric-specific LED illumination system, precision-engineered aluminium frame profiles, and high-definition dye-sublimated fabric graphics. The frameless design delivers an uninterrupted visual field, ensuring that the message — not the hardware — is the focal point. Graphics can be replaced quickly and tool-free, eliminating the need for specialist installers and reducing ongoing operational costs.

Scope of works included both grand-format wall-mounted lightboxes and custom-manufactured units integrated into baggage carousels across the airport precinct. Each unit was manufactured to exact specification, ensuring a consistent aesthetic and performance throughout the site.

To meet stringent regulatory requirements, lucent™ remains the only illuminated fabric system in the local market certified to comply with both New Zealand and Australian electrical and fire safety standards. All integrated lighting systems are tested and certified locally, and all fabrics are FR-treated and BRANZ-tested for compliance with applicable interior fire ratings. This combination of performance, safety, and visual impact ensures lucent™ continues to set the benchmark for illuminated display solutions in high-traffic, safety-critical environments.
