Inflatable Performance Installation Wins In Las Vegas

Canvasland wins IFAI 2007 International Achievement Award

(Roseville, Minn. – Oct. 3, 2007) –Canvasland was recognized with the 2007 International Achievement Award (IAA) presented by the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI) for its exceptional specialty fabric project.

For 60 years, the International Achievement Awards have recognized skillful design, technological innovation and excellence in the specialty fabrics industry. The projects created by the industry continue to grow in scope as applications for specialty fabrics advance.

Canvasland received an Outstanding Achievement Award for its “Hold”. The project was recognized in the competition’s Interactive and Cold Air Inflatable category.

Selected from 387 entries in 13 different countries, these winners represent many of today’s top professionals in the specialty fabrics industry. Entries in 28 categories were judged by a diverse panel of industry experts, editors, architects, educators and design professionals selected for their knowledge of the particular category of competition. Judging was based on complexity, design, workmanship, uniqueness and function.

The competition is sponsored by IFAI, a not-for-profit trade association whose member companies represent the international specialty fabrics marketplace. The 2007 International Achievement awards were presented during IFAI Expo 2007, the largest annual specialty fabrics event.

Inflatable Whare

An inflatable whare - this unique concept was designed by Dunedin artist Inez Crawford. Inez presented the idea to Canvasland and worked closely with our design team during the development and production stages. The pattern of the whare was based around a bouncy castle, which was modified to take on a traditional look of a whare and yet maintain a slight hint of the castle features. The whare will be on exhibition in Dunedin over the next few months representing the entertainment aspect of culture.

Summer Shade

Spring is the opportune time to look at shade options for your home or business, especially now day light saving has kicked in. With the longer sunshine hours each day you can get a better understanding of where shade cover is necessary and what application will provide the best protection while still fitting in with the design and look of a property.
Gone are the days where there were only a couple of shade structures to choose from. Today, there is a huge variety of options. Over and above the popular sails and awnings there are now more affordable frame structures to consider. Umbrellas are also making a big comeback, especially now we are seeing more innovative and durable designs out in the market.
Canvasland can offer a variety of custom fitted shade options. The sails in the photos are a prime example of thinking outside of the square. The sails add to the aesthetics of the Oriental Parade home while providing good protection from the sun.
