Marketing manager, Caroline Reilly said, “we are looking forward to exhibiting at the new East London location for the 2012 show, which we hope will also bring new audiences to the event. Since last year’s show we have continued to develop our products and are planning our stand to exhibit the latest developments in floors for the performing arts.”

Visitors to the seventh annual Danza in Fiera, staged last month at Florence’s Fortezza da Basso were immediately tempted to visit Harlequin’s dramatic new stand. Strategically located at the entrance to the trade show, the eye-catching gleaming white, newly designed 32m² stand projected a crisp white image that created busy visitor traffic throughout the event.
Black Harlequin Hi-Shine™ provided a floor that featured regular performances during the four days of Danza in Fiera by world famous break dancers Maksym Babunov and Renato Scapecchi. These winners of prestigious prizes such as the Osaka 2009, the Sydney Festival 2009 and the Italy Best Show 2011, offered “out of the box performances on the rhythm of Japanese percussion.” The high gloss floor was also much appreciated for its mirror effect by photographers and event organizers, as well as choreographers who stopped at the Harlequin stand to enquire about the product.
