Mick was invited to demonstrate wallcovering installation at Omexco 50th anniversary celebrations during Focus, and plenty of questions naturally arose.
As they were all in the room together, it gave the designers attending a rare opportunity to not only ask the practical questions that come with specifying wallcoverings, but to see the answers demonstrated in real time, using the techniques our team would use.
Questions such as:
How will this material behave around a corner?
How can fraying be minimised?
They’re small questions, but exactly the kind of details that need to be understood when ambitious designs meet reality.
We really appreciate Omexco’s recognition of the craft involved in bringing their beautiful designs to life, and for involving us in their special day. 🙏
Here are a few images that capture the essence of the event:
Image 1: Testing whether a wood veneer has the flexibility to wrap an external corner, working slowly and carefully with a cloth.
Image 2: The result — a successfully wrapped corner
Image 3: Comparing treated and untreated fabric wallcovering edges to see how finishing products can help reduce fraying.
Image 4: Answering questions as they came up during the demonstration.
Image 5: Talking through the installation process
Image 6: Megan and Mick, clearly taking the technical discussion very seriously.
Images 7–9: Mick, Natalie and Joanna enjoying evening celebrations with the Omexco team and guests.
