Grafico is proud to sponsor The Block for the 2020 season supplying contestants with a generous budget to spend on any of our ‘Walls’ products including design consultation, custom print wallpaper, art prints and of course “Mosaico Digitale” custom print Italian mosaic tiles.
This year we’re back to home builds with 5 individual homes from various eras starting at 1910 and proceeding through, 1920, 1930, 1940 and 1950’s. On top of what would normally be a gigantic build throw in a global pandemic (and subsequent site shut down) and we’re going to be in for one mega season in 2020!
We can’t wait to show you what our team have been busy designing and producing for The Block 2020 contestants!

And with that we round out another amazing year on The Block!
One that will certainly go down in history books as the most challenging especially due to the Corona Virus pandemic stopping filming for some time mid way through the season. A big thank you to all the Channel 9 / The Block teams for welcoming our teams on site. We look forward to being involved once again in 2021!
