# Printing on Velvet and Wax Candles for Fête Events

Fête Events came to Sun Studio with a full event look and two materials that had nothing in common.

We printed onto the velvet that was later stretched over the event chairs, and onto the wax pillar [candles](https://www.sunstudio.ae/insights/printed-candles-and-candle-jars-dubai/) that sat on the tables. Their design team supplied the artwork.

## Project snapshot

- **Client:** Fête Events
- **Location:** Dubai
- **Material:** Velvet and wax pillar candles
- **Printing service:** Fabric & textile printing, candle & jar printing
- **Application:** Event chairs and table candles on one theme
- **Designs:** Supplied by the client’s design team

## The brief

Both materials had to read as the same event from across a room, despite having almost nothing in common as printing surfaces.

## Our approach

The velvet was printed flat and stretched over the chair backs afterwards, so the artwork was laid out for what it would look like once pulled over a curve rather than flat on a table.

The candles were printed direct onto the wax, with the artwork matched to the velvet so the two carry the same theme.

## Production detail

Velvet has a pile, so ink lands on fibres that move and lie in a direction, and fine halftone detail is the first thing a pile surface destroys. This velvet was then going to be stretched over a curved chair back, so the artwork had to survive being pulled without the image distorting.

Wax is harder still: a soft, genuinely low surface energy material that resists adhesion and tolerates neither heat nor pressure.

## The result

A room where the chairs and the tables carry the same look, printed on two materials that behave nothing alike.
