Rivian
Project: Rivian Product Reveal
Location: Laguna Beach, CA
Fabrics Used: Printed Celtic Cloth
Fabrication Lead Time: 1 Week
Scope of Work
When the fastest-growing, US-based electric vehicle manufacturer has an announcement, it
knows exactly what it takes to make an impact. For the launch of its new R2, R3, and R3X
models, the facade of the Rivian South Coast Theatre was given a modern, playful facelift. A
subtle color gradient graphic was printed onto our signature Celtic Cloth. The printed fabric was
carefully cut into strips, being mindful not to disrupt the gradient. The strips were then evenly
laid out and assembled onto a curtain installed on the top theatre balcony.
The result? A seemingly simple yet technically complex strip curtain that perfectly embodied the
brand’s reputation for its contemporary design and use of groundbreaking technology.
