Vintage at Goodwood

GTMS provides state of the art solutions for vintage festival

The inaugural Vintage at Goodwood event featured an array of print and production innovations thanks to the GTMS team. This music and fashion led festival, which celebrated creative British cool, took place over two days in August.

Iris Experience , who carried out all site technical production and built several of the key environments, brought GTMS on board to help manage the production of the 1980s and to create the 1950s ‘Let it Rock' sign.

GTMS executed the build of the 1980s warehouse which was created using a scaffold structure. Brickwork imagery was printed directly on to timber sheets using GTMS' Visionply which were then clad externally to the structure. A dressing was applied directly to the boards to give them an added 3D feel and creating a seamless and realistic finish.

GTMS also clad the structure internally in galvanized corrugated metal sheeting which was then graphitized by the Hemingway's team of artists. The GTMS team also added additional features including the warehouse roller shutter door, the bar, DJ booth and front of house areas. Richard King, Director at Iris Experience said, "The Warehouse was in another league, the detailing and imagination used by GTMS was the best yet. From briefing to delivery, they've exceeded all expectations. It's all been a massive success and a huge amount of that is down to GTMS . . . .roll on 2011"

The event also featured a 1950s marquee outside of which was a ‘Let it rock' sign inspired by diners from this decade. GTMS created the sign using individual aluminium lightbox trays which shone out at night drawing the crowds in to see the rock'n'roll taking place on the stage.

Vintage at Goodwood brought together lovers of the music, fashion, food and lifestyles of the decades and it was an honour for GTMS to be part of the team which made it happen on a stunning site on the South Downs.
