Flamingo and giant fruits made of GRP
Malibu is the world’s best-selling rum-based liqueur with the natural taste of coconut. This popular drink is an ingredient in many cocktails. Combined with orange, passion fruit or pineapple juice, it makes many wonderful drinks with a touch of the Caribbean. ACCENTFORM produced giant pineapple and coconut fruits and the funky flamingo Mali. These giant fruits made of GRP are a real eye-catcher at any beach party and help to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
The 2.5 m high flamingo was carved freehand from STYROPOR based on a photo template and then the surface was coated with a 2 mm thick layer of GRP.
The outfit of the hip bird is completed by the blue glasses and colorful flip-flops. The giant fruits – coconut and pineapple – were modeled in CAD and then CNC-milled from polystyrene.
The coconut was given a surface with a natural fiber look, while the pineapple was given a fruity airbrush finish.
