Düsseldorf Will be Painted Red for drupa Visitors

Manuel Mataré, drupa project director, said, “Of course, we want to be good hosts for our international trade fair visitors. In addition, we would also like to convey a bit of the positive drupa atmosphere to the citizens of Düsseldorf.”

A specific eye-catcher this year will certainly be the paper boat
drupaperboat, which will anchor at the Kö-Graben canal, was created by Dutch Paper artist Filip Jonker. This 7.5-m-long and 2.65-m-wide boat was constructed from 2,000 kg of paper and 2,500 kg of sand as ballast specifically for drupa 2012 in Düsseldorf.
