Them Bones



Mr. Bones is getting a celebrity makeover — 13 in fact — and it’s all for good causes.
Kiehl’s iconic mascot, in stores across the world, got the head-to-toe overhauls for the store’s new charity drive.
The Daily News got an exclusive sneak peek of the tarted-up skeletons, which will be unveiled Wednesday night — and on display for the public starting June 2.
Among the stars helping with Mr. Bones’ new looks are funnyman Zach Galifianakis and “Top Chef” queen Padma Lakshmi. Under its charity arm, Kiehl’s Gives, the East Village skin-care brand is donating $200,000 to causes chosen by the famous names.  --NY Daily News

To help with the launch party at Gold Bar of this national campaign, GHS was hired to design and produce the custom made bases to hold the unique skeleton sculptures and in the photo below, install the event, including the black on black graphic in the frames. We were also responsible for the crating and shipping of the skeletons across the US.



Here's a closer look at a few of the actual 'celeb designed skeletons.

Sunglass Hut: The Look of Attraction



As Sunglass Hut introduces a new line of Sunglasses by Georgia May Jagger, GHS was asked to produce and install graphics, props, lightboxes and signage for their 5th avenue store. Sinuous forms in yellow and aqua tie the story of 'Metal meets Plastic' together.







A closer look at the swirling juxtapostion of color!





The gold lining of Armani


Giorgio Armani asked Geoff Howell Studio to produce the props for the Lexington Ave. windows of Bloomingdale's.  Understated simplicity is always the Armani by-word. In this case, it comprised of  a single mannequin in each window, backlit with a heavenly glow, and framed with floor-to-ceiling gold-leafed panels--all resting on a matte black floor.
