Record-breaking mesh screen for resort opening

Dubai, UAE
May 2024

Picture this: a breathtaking 3D video mapping spectacle, stretching over a whopping 28,675 square meters of mesh fabric to celebrate the grand opening of a luxurious hotel resort. Thanks to an elastic projection scrim, the entire facade of the One&Only hotel One Za’abeel could be turned into a mesmerising display of light and motion.

Have you met StretchTulle yet? The fire-rated mesh is renowned for its remarkable strength, great width and projection capabilities, making it a great material for building wraps. Because of its flexibility, the innovative outdoor display could be installed within a mere two weeks and removed with ease. The perfect scenario for a luxury resort looking to limit any disruption for guests to a bare minimum. The open-weave stretch screen allowed for a stunning fusion of technology and luxury, offering an unforgettable experience for everyone present.

To top things off, the projection mapping event achieved not 1 but 3 Guinness World Records!

  • The largest architectural projection-mapped display
  • The longest architectural projection-mapped display

A fantastic visual feast!
