Portal by GF Smith - a truly mesmerising visual and audio experience.

Portal was an installation of over 4000 boxes, crafted by G . F Smith and TonyG in the basement of The Vinyl Factory in Soho. The display had 13 unique structures to showcase the entire Colourplan range for the weekend long event.

Working out the freestanding nature of the structures and how to get 65 pallets into the tight alleyways of Soho during Pride weekend and road closures was an interesting challenge. Solutions included creating plywood bases and beech dowels to slot the boxes in a brick like fashion with a minimum of three separate net plans per structure.

The display was taken down and repacked using a collapsible system to ensure minimum wastage.
