{"product_id":"cardboard-lemon","title":"Cardboard Lemon","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis giant cardboard lemon is part of our sculptural range. It’s designed as a bold, playful feature piece that draws attention without needing much else around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works well anywhere you want something light, recognisable, and a bit unexpected. Brand activations, retail displays, exhibitions, photo moments, even stage or set design. The shape is simple, but the impact is strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike everything in this range, it’s a starting point rather than a fixed product. The lemon can be scaled, stylised, or adapted depending on what the project needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lemon is built from cardboard pieces to create a solid, freestanding form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternally, the structure is designed to hold its shape while staying lightweight enough to transport and install without heavy equipment. Depending on the size, it may be built in multiple sections so it can be moved through doorways and assembled on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer surface can be left raw for a natural cardboard look, or finished with printed or coloured layers depending on the design direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor larger builds or high-traffic environments, we can incorporate internal weighting or subtle base supports to keep everything stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCustomisation and Branding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape and Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lemon can be scaled from a small tabletop prop through to oversized sculptures several metres tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can also adjust the proportions depending on the look you’re after.

After the event, it can be reused, re-skinned, or fully recycled depending on how it’s built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it’s lightweight, transport has a lower impact compared to traditional materials. And because it can be packed down or built in sections, logistics are simpler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor brands and organisations thinking more carefully about their environmental footprint, pieces like this are a practical way to reduce waste without losing visual impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s also a broader shift happening where businesses are expected to consider how their choices affect people, communities, and the environment. That’s part of a wider move toward a more regenerative economy, where materials and systems are designed to have a positive long-term impact\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kind of sculptural piece works best where you want something visually clear and easy to engage with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrade shows and exhibition stands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand activations and product launches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetail displays and window installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvents and festivals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheatre and stage design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto moments and social media backdrops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperiential marketing environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s especially effective when paired with lighting, signage, or other set elements to create a full scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be reused?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
