A.D.DESIGN LATEST PROJECTS

Mercantile Gold Leaf Letters

Recently the scaffolding came down on The Mercantile, Dame Street, Dublin to reveal its new 23ct gold leaf letters by A.D.Design!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The letters were routed 19mm prismatic foamex which were filled & then painted in 2pac car paint to get as smooth a finish as possible. Then we gold leafed them using 23ct gold leaf.

These signs will shine for years to come!

 

 

 

Mounttown Community Facility

Just installed is our latest stainless steel masterpiece for Dunlaoghaire Rathdown.

SATIN
We manufactured built up 304 grade brushed stainless steel letters & the DLR Logo Specifications: 
This is a semi-reflective finish with a hairline texture running through it. A very versatile finish it is the most requested finish we offer. Excellent for indoor or outdoor use.

 

 

 

Zumo, Arnotts, Dublin

 

The Zumo Signs attached were made from mirror stainless steel with a ss trim & returns (sides). To be different we routed the faces out of 19mm clear perspex, rounded, flame polished them & fixed a full colour print to the rear. This meant that the perspex faces actually come through the face of the letter & have an amazing 3D effect as well as having a "jelly" transparent look.

       

 

The Wright Venue, Swords

 

 

 

 

 

 

The design brief for The Wright Venue, Swords was to create "Las Vegas" style exterior signs for Dublin's newest night club. We laser cut thousands of 4.5mm holes into the faces of the mirror stainless steel letters & installed individual L.E.D.s which were wired to a DMX controller so that the signs would shimmer like the "Mirage" sign in Vegas.

The finished product looks amazing if we say so ourselves & we are very proud!

    

 

Dalvey Grafton Street

News

We were approached by Dalvey in Scotland to specify & quote for the finishing of their new flagship shop on Grafton Street.

Internally we recessed textile lightboxes into the walls so that all you see is a perfect high quality image lighting. The textile boxes are perfect for this as they are aluminium frames where the image can be easily fitted by 1 person due to the textile print having rubber flanges stitched in which easy slot into the frame. The beauty of this system is that the finished image is matt & looks like canvas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the window we manufactured a double sided textile lightbox that is supported by a stainless steel hinge top & bottom so that it can swing out of the way when changing products on display. The images can be changed in minuites by one person with ease.

Also in the window we designed & manufactured a perspex cylinder hanging display point of sale unit which consists of 3 perspex cylinders with shelves suspended by stainless steel cable system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outside we made the company sign / branding from prismatic foamex painted cream.
