About Heathcoat Fabrics
Heathcoat Fabrics is a global leader in advanced technical textiles with over 200 years of innovation, providing high-performance fabrics to industries from aerospace to healthcare.
Challenge
Heathcoat required a stand-out visual environment for its large exhibition presence at Techtextil. Working alongside Cardiff-based 3-sixty, an exhibition design and production company, we were asked to create graphics for all customer-facing surfaces within a structurally complex space that included a large central pillar.
Approach
Using Heathcoat’s established hexagonal motif as the foundation, we developed a cohesive graphic language that reflected precision, innovation, and structure. Two narrative zones were created: one focusing on sustainability achievements, and the other on technical expertise. We commissioned photographer Andrew Butler to capture high-definition product imagery, showcasing texture and detail across illuminated lightboxes and meeting room walls. The central pillar became a feature — wrapped in a hexagonal timeline charting over 200 years of textile innovation.
Outcome
The final exhibition design created a visually immersive brand experience, reinforcing Heathcoat’s leadership in textile innovation. The stand attracted significant attention at Techtextil, effectively combining aesthetic impact, brand storytelling, and functional design to enhance visitor engagement and business conversations.
