The New Zealand Wine Annual Trade Tasting Event 2014 at Lindley Hall, at The Royal Horticultural Halls, was smooth on the palette this year. We were invited to print and install these great looking large hanging banners all around the hall.
Land of the Lions..
London Zoo's latest instalment from MJ Group. The lovely new Lion enclosure is currently being built at the Zoo (the lions will be very pleased), and has been surrounded by two large hoarding sections. The Zoological Society of London's hoarding design sits very well after the print and installation this week! Large printed Di bond panels and PVC mesh printing made up this great project to work on.
Knoll: Window Manifestation work
We thought we'd share our recent work with local Clerkenwell design firm Knoll; specialising in office spacing, storage solutions, bespoke furniture and all with a modernist twist. Knoll re-branded their windows in line with an upcoming sale utilizing our services for producing and installing white and red cut vinyl manifestation to their store front.
Ranging from 3m's to 2.5m's in width the scale and size of the job, although simple in its end result, meant our install team had to meticulously prepare and craft the vinyl application with intricate wire frame designs in mind. The end result provides a contrasting use of bright vibrant blood orange red and stark emotive white in the aid of enticing people in while in-keeping with their modernist styling and values - if only for one weekend.
Media and Marketing event signage and props
A recent project for a PR and marketing agency in Central London. Printed and branded signage and hand held photo props were scattered around the intimate venue for this media and marketing night in Clerkenwell. We printed and finished the hand held props and signage using UV flatbed printers and digital Zund contour cutters. Produced on a lightweight 5mm Kappa plast material, the audience were able to manoeuvre and reposition the items with ease and without damaging the print surface.
We're hiring!
We have two job vacancies available at our large format display office. We are looking for a pre-press artworker at mid-weight level and a large format print operator.

Window vinyl work at Cassina
Our recent project down in Brompton road provided a vibrant and suitably visual representation of the Cassina brand in South West London. Priding themselves on innovation, authenticity and craftsmanship, this recent vinyl installation work creates a unique and enticing shop front for the furniture interiors company Cassina.
A circular and peep hole type design presents the furniture and design elements within the shop front to the walking public, in keeping with Cassina's bright and vibrant red branding.
Measured, site surveyed and intricately laid out and installed, the MJ Group specialise in large format installation with deadlines, budget and conceptual representation in mind.

Roald Dahl Story Centre
As an ongoing project and existing case study the Roald Dahl Story Centre enables us to produce and output some of our most creative works. Not content with producing life-size MDF giraffes and bespoke, cardboard engineered golden tickets and giant peaches, we were tasked with recreating Dahl's iconic chair, complete with a specific patch which he used to help with chronic back pain.
The project consisted of contour cutting MDF panels, applying UV print to both sides and ultimately constructing, finishing and fabricating the complete structure. To go alongside this, an 8 paneled system was made complete with magnetic and mirrored vinyls to provide a unique and realistic environment, which aids in providing further environmental and graphical representations of Roald Dahl's life and work. The eventual packaging for the goods and works contained as much effort and creative energy as the printed pieces, in turn creating a lasting, professional impression that can be continually reused.

Giant stencil for Cola-Cola bottles..
Here's a project we just finished..we created a giant stencil for our client for a Cola-Cola PR stunt outside the Royal Albert Hall. 1200 Coke bottles were used to create the name 'Albert' and Coke swoosh..share a coke.
The work behind the scenes. Lots of prototyping/artworking with this project. We had to get 1200 to fit the letter stencils. We finally produced 1.6m x 1.2m stencil cut outs on e-flute for the picture to emerge!
“Nice words from the client too:
I just wanted to let you know that the stencil was fantastic and the shoot worked really well on Monday. Thank you so much for all your help and for making it happen as I know it was turned around very quickly in the end.”
The World Architecture Festival 2014..
The WAF awards are integral to the fabric of the World Architecture Festival. Architects from across the globe enter projects in a wide variety of sectors from hotels to houses, future masterplans to hospitals. Every short listed scheme is presented and judged live at WAF. Award category sponsorship enables you to support architectural excellence while engaging directly with the architects as they celebrate their achievements and plan their next project.
MJ Group, have been involved with WAF since being one of the main sponsors of the sister event INSIDE -www.insidefestival.com in Barcelona in 2010.
As the WAF approved UK provider for the competition entry boards, this year we have handled over 150 entries from nearly 100 architects worldwide. Each architect from around the world that enters a project (some enter up to 6 projects) must submit two A2 sized display boards per project for judging here in the UK. To save on cost and the chance of damage or lose shipping from abroad they come to us for production and delivery.
This year the WAF will be held in at the Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 1-3 October and we've been receiving up to 100+ enquiries and questions on some mornings, from architects around the world, who are all seeking worldwide exposure and global industry acclaim with their competition entries.
