‍DESIGN INFORMATION

Hugo Bernier is influenced by the graphic design of the 1980s and 90s, in particular that published in music and magazines. His artistic style has developed since drawing as a young child, and retains a playfulness we felt aligned well to our own attitudes as event designers. His work embraces and accentuates the weird and wonderful aspects of life, exploring the human form and our relation (and conflict) with nature. More of his designs can be found on his website (hugobernier.com).

RESPECT OUR ENVIRONMENT

How we treat the environment is of great importance to Wax Palace. In the interest of sustainability, we have researched and implemented what we believe to be the most environmentally considerate manufacturing processes available to us: production is paperless, waste is reduced at all opportunities and is recycled where possible (direct-to-screen machines eliminate the use of films), and we promote the use of 100% organic cotton which is natural and GMO-free. Organic cotton also uses less water than standard cotton and does not include the use of chemicals in production. All remaining materials are disposed of through accredited companies, and we only use dryers certified by The Carbon Trust. Whenever possible we use recycled and/or fairtrade goods, and all inks are both vegan and 100% phthalate free.

There is still a way to go! Postal methods rely heavily on the use of oil, and we are working with our suppliers to develop packaging which is robust, affordable and 100% recycled in an effort to reduce our plastic consumption. If you have experience in environmentally conscious manufacturing, we always welcome additional input!
