Golden number Phi

One of our clients was very interested in our geometric collection based on the golden number Phi and parabolic curves. They wanted something very subtle to be the finishing touch to their fantastic ground floor extension in the kitchen as a 2.5m splashback. Our client only wanted the splashback if we could perfectly match the bespoke dark blue charcoal colour they had used as the accent colour in their kitchen. Many colour sample print tests were done to check the colour which we had to tweak so that the colour looked the same even through glass. The way light refracts through (even low iron) glass can change the colour that is an exact match, so we increased the saturation slightly to counteract the loss of colour with the glass refraction effect. The finished result was a stunning industrial charcoal colour with very subtle darker blue 0.5 mm lined geometric Phi...

World skyline bespoke splashback

Glartique met this imaginative client when we were exhibiting at Surface Design 2016. They were very excited about our magnetic London skyline splashback but wanted ‘a few personal touches’. We met up with the couple the very next day and the ‘few personal elements’ turned out to be 38 bespoke elements that captured their exciting world travels over the years. We very carefully worked all of the bespoke elements, buildings, countries and personal objects into the design, making sure each building was reasonably proportionate to reality, and the flow of the countries worked west to east. Our client did not want to have a split in the glass and were willing to wait for our new 3m printer to be installed. So at 2750mm wide this bespoke kitchen splashback is printed in one piece at HD 1400 dpi installed in an immaculate 2 bedroom flat on the 22nd floor in the...

Glartique-bespoke-printed-splashback-with-Mudeford-beach-huts-2

Glartique-bespoke-printed-splashback-with-Mudeford-beach-huts. Our client lives in Mudeford by the sea near Bournemouth. It was this area that inspired the original Glartique Mudeford beach hut design. This new bespoke design was created to give a different view of the beach huts and to add some bespoke personal elements. Our client used to have 2 very sweet wire-hair fox terriers that passed away and wanted them to be depicted in the artwork full of life and curiosity. Our client also loves the Red arrows and they do a fly over every year during Mudeford Arts week in August, so we included these too as well as some classical swans that love to breed in the bay. To integrate the plug sockets we used permanent vinyl perfectly lined up to match the artwork. We usually integrate sockets into the design with something holding them like a helicopter with straps coming down to the socket. This was the first time we’ve used vinyl to match the artwork and we think it works very nicely. This lovely kitchen was designed and installed by Matt Hardy of Hallmark Kitchen and Design in Bournemouth. Working with a friendly and collaborative kitchen company like Hallmark always makes our bespoke printed kitchen splashback projects run...
