SIEL PARIS


February 4 - 6 saw Siel celebrate its 30th anniversary. Held at the Grande Halle de la Vaillette, in Paris, France, the show has taken a break in recent years, but this was the second year Siel had been held at this venue.

Bordeux-based Kinesik showed its P9 Curve Series, featuring a small pixel resolu- tion and the option of concave or convex assembly. It can also be set up in a giant
