Shows
The importance of the show and the stage is always very present, and spectators attach particular importance to the decor.
THE DECORATION, AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE SHOW
The French always favour live shows — theatre, comedy, music, dance, etc. In addition to the quality of the works and the talent of the artists, the comfort and decor of the room contribute to making the trip to the show an exceptional moment. Concert halls allocate more budget to the decoration, even if programming and quality of the shows prevail. Quite to the contrary, it is complementary and contributes to making an evening at the show a successful evening.
THE OFFER OF CTN PRODUCTS FOR SHOWS AND STAGES
In addition to the product ranges intended for events — fairs and trade shows, exhibitions, receptions, etc., CTN has developed another range for the entertainment business. This is, for example, the case with the non-slip dance floor mat, a safe and comfortable covering for dancers. Stage curtains are specially designed for theatres. Other references are more "universal". Backcloths are therefore suitable for theatres, dance shows and One Man Shows. Their role is indeed to demarcate the scene and hide the backstage, whatever the show.
CTN also provides scene tulles, to mask and reveal both, depending on the direction of the light. These lightweight textiles are particularly used during video projections. They can produce amazing visual effects. Regarding multimedia, the company also offers projection and back-projection screens. Stage skirts are also useful for all types of shows, their role being to conceal the underside of the stage — feet, cables, etc., which are necessary but unsightly.
Our collection consists of a wide selection of floor coverings that lend themselves perfectly to the creation of all your customised carpets. With our wide range of solid colours, you will find on our site a selection of textures to meet your project requirements. Whether it is an performance or a presentation, our ranges of carpet will be ideal to give a neutral effect to the stage. However, if you have a specific theme according to your customer's activity, our faux wood vinyl coverings and other decorations offer you original designs.
Our cotton fabrics with various finishes and colours are ideal bases for the decoration of reception areas. Our plain brushed cotton range will allow you to decorate partitions or parts of a space, to create lighting effects or hide non-essential elements. As for your bar tables and high tables of 70/80 cm in diameter, you can embellish them in the blink of an eye thanks to our stretch covers in Lycra, available in white or black. These items are perfect for an inauguration, a ceremony, a prize-giving event or for the evening of a premiere.
An essential asset of your decorations focused on respect for the environment, cardboard is a privileged material. Recyclable, and recycled, it is suitable for making furniture, for a stage, but also your communication supports or your small decorative items. Available in the form of cellular panels of various thicknesses, cardboard lends itself to many projects. Attractive in its lightness and strength, it also has extremely interesting acoustic qualities.
A SERVICE OFFER WELL ADAPTED TO THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT
The world of shows is very different from that of events. Trade shows, exhibitions and other receptions are generally punctual and short-term. Their decoration too. This is also more or less the case when it comes to developing a set for a play or for a film. On the other hand, the decoration of a theatre is generally designed to last.
This is particularly the case for the curtains of theatres, whether they are backcloths, tulles or stage curtains. In addition, the needs formulated by theatre managers are rarely standard. To meet these specific requests, CTN has its own tailoring workshop. This fully integrated offer allows CTN to control all manufacturing stages. And whether it is to make stage tulles or custom-made hangings, or floors printed to order, the specialists of the CTN tailoring workshop have all the necessary skills.
We can also support set designers and theatres to offer sustainable flooring solutions to rehabilitate your public reception areas, or to have reusable stage sets.
Make your curtains and drapes to measure by consulting our range of fabrics. They decorate your walls, partitions and windows with refinement, and the variety of our offer allows you to precisely meet the requirements of your theme. Don't forget our acoustic fabrics to create soundproof spaces, or our blackout fabrics that will bring real darkness to a room or a dedicated area. For the finishes, several options are possible regarding the hanging, as well as the ballast for a perfect rendering. In addition, all our supplies are fire-proofed and meet current security standards. CTN's expertise at the service of your audiovisual decoration needs

CTN RECYCLING, A RESPONSIBLE APPROACH
To limit the waste of raw materials, the company has developed CTN Recycling. Thanks to this responsible approach, CTN can recover and recycle part of the products provided to its customers. For shows, this offer concerns the treatment of textiles, rewind carpets and vinyl flooring. To facilitate the process, CTN provides containers — Big Bags —, in which customers can place the fabric at "end of life", after carefully sorting them. These customers can either deliver the Big Bags themselves to CTN or request that they be collected by CTN. At the end of the recycling operations — the brushed cotton is integrated into insulation panels — CTN will issue a recovery certificate to its customers.
