Set designer embodies Hi-Shine into project


The exciting glossy wet-look finish of Harlequin Hi-Shine floor has inspired designers and artists to create exciting stage sets, displays and exhibition stands. Recently takis, an experimental set, costume and installation designer used white Hi-Shine to stunning effect when engaged as set and costume designer for Kompany Malakhi’s “Rotations”. 

Described as “an innovative and compelling celebration of art and sport working towards the 2012 Cultural Olympiad” the Rotations project is set to start a UK tour in June. According to Kompany Malakhi, “Rotations began as project 360° in 2008 and currently exists as a duet between a BMX flatlander and B-Boy (breakdancer). It is now going into its next phase of development that will produce an outdoor performance and a dance on film.” 

takis was previously Designer-in-Residence for the 2008 and 2009 HighTide Festivals, which recently produced the very successful STOVEPIPE in collaboration with the National Theatre. takis is also the artistic director of his own company Artluxe, which produces installation and performance art. 

Hi-Shine rolls out instantly to a breathtaking wet-look finish provides perfect display floor for the entertainment industry and benefits from a special laminated hard polymer ultra-gloss surface, which is superior to urethane for scratch-resistance.
