Please describe the project specifications

We were invited by the owner of the Circus Rodas of Argentina, to make them a new set of tents to initiate his new tour 2016 all over the country of Argentina, including others of South America.

What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

The Circus Rodas, a circus of great tradition in the country of Argentina, needed from new tents to change the look that for more than 10 years it had brought with his previous tents.
The tents should perform different from the traditional thing.

What is unique or complex about the project?

We design and make a set of tents that were consisting in:
1 Main Tent, 1 Entrance Tent (Lobby), 1 V.I.P Tent, 2 Tunnels conection and some little covers.
We chose a combination of colors yellow with black on the outside and black inside, colors little used for tents of circus achieving a contrast with this combination, border for the ceilings and design of arches for the sidewalls integrating the logo of the circus.

What were the results of the project?

We achieve with our work the taste and satisfaction of our client and many comments of the type of made tents since each of the tents had a very important roll.
The main tent was looking like a real palace of canvas, the entrance tent with the whole interior set it was managing to captivate the public. In the V.I.P. Tent we had a real challenge since they arranged this tent ultimately as an extra. We design something that was joining to the already constructed and we wanted to make it different, where the challenge was to put an organic design as yellow plant in a black base and this did not put on the canvas, but it was grafted doing models and special courts for his great size and not generate creases, achieving with all the models a spectacular sight.
