Displate, a company that has taken artwork and brought it to life with several 3D effects, has launched a complete new metal poster called “Textra”. Textra, as the name suggests, layers their artwork with 3D effects, raised portions, and all on their 3D metal plates. The result is a magnificent design that can be easily mounted thanks to a cool magnetic hanging system. Let’s dig into the details.
Displate Textra represents an evolution of two-dimensional metal posters, pushing boundaries with a dynamic and immersive 3D experience. Displate Textra premium quality posters feature an exclusive blend of tangible textures, 3D contouring effects, and selective matte and gloss finishes to make fans’ passions invigorate the walls. With this dimension and texture, Displate Textra posters are a new take on the popular collectibles that are engaging, bringing passions in stunning designs and scenes one step closer to life.
Textra is the perfect choice for collectors seeking unique, high-quality memorabilia dedicated to their passions that excite them – whether gaming, classic art, nature, Star Wars, or the latest Netflix show. Displate’s easy-to-install magnetic mounting system makes Textra posters easy to swap as desired, so fans don’t have to settle on just one design. Once the mount is in place, Textra collectors can choose from more than 250 Textra designs from officially licensed brands including Star Wars, Marvel, Transformers, Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer 40K, and more to upgrade and add character to any space. The mount won’t damage walls, making it a no-brainer for fans who can’t decide on just one design, as well as for renters and college students. Fans can collect many of their favorites and change them out to set a new mood, highlight their latest interests or making a space festive for game, movie, or watch night.
Textra posters are made with Displate’s unique 3D application process which takes two-dimensional designs and animates them with 3D effects and textures to make posters engaging and dynamic. Depicting pop-culture, gaming, movie and artistic icons, Displate designs are one-of-a-kind, with unique artwork available from Displate’s in-house Design Studio Team and popular artists who upload their work. The library includes hundreds of best-selling brands, designs, and artists, and it will continue expanding to represent any fan’s passions.
This new plate system is launching with over 250 designs, and shipping in a large 17.7” x 12.6″ size and starting at just $69 USD. Let’s hear from Rafal Kocik, Head of Displate Design Studio.
Through the introduction of Textra, our in-house design team has elevated the artistry of Displate to new heights. From its inception, Displate has challenged the notion, “just a poster” bringing fans and collectors a high-quality collectible with our easy magnet mounting. Textra is the evolution of our metal posters, with a proprietary 3D finish that expands on the emotional connection of our posters, awakening our fans’ favorite themes, characters, and passions Textra delivers pop culture to-the-max, for an emotional and immersive experience that fans will engage not only visually, but with touch as well.
CEO Bartek Malecki added
Their exceptional printing skills, combined with meticulously curated patterns and intricate layers of varnish and relief has unlocked a third dimension to Displate and brought interesting elements in each graphic to life. This innovative approach achieves mesmerizing effects reminiscent of watercolor painting, glass reflections, or a matte fabric finish, ensuring each Textra is a masterpiece in its own right.
