Sunglass Hut: Dolce & Gabbana

To promote Sunglass Hut's new line of Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses, we produced and installed two large media towers, one filled with 4 LCD screens and the others with backlit images as well as 9 x 9 foot white velvet covered panel with the D&G logo. In front of the velvet wall stands three gold plinths topped with velvet risers with the one on the middle featuring an 'unfolded box' in white velvet and gold trim. Dolce & Gabbana's new line features an ancient Italian technique of actual glass micro mosaic on the temples of the frames. Theyre really quite beautiful.

Here's a closer look at the beautiful craftsmanship in the micro-mosaic style the new D&G sunglasses feature.

The Faberge Egg Hunt NYC

Sprinkled all over NYC for the months of March and April are around 300 two and a half foot high eggs decorated by artists and designers worldwide and 'hidden' all over the city, creating a PR campaign that functions like a giant Easter egg hunt. At the end of the exhibition, all the eggs will be auctioned off. This charitable initiative benefits "The Elephant Family" and Agnes Gund's 'Studio in a School'. For our part, we were asked by Faberge to help realize some artist's visions on the eggs.

Below are some screenshots from Instagram of the eggs we worked on, installed around the city, and documented by the public as they participate in #TheBigEggHuntNY!

Stairway to fragrance heaven

Coco Chanel was famous for many things one of which was a circular staircase in her salon in Paris.  Putting a 'spin' on this, the designers for Chanel fragrances came up with a revolving circular and in some spots, underlit, spiral 'fragrance' staircase for their launch at Saks 5th Avenue. Geoff Howell Studio created the magic of a suspended motor-driven and electrified display.  The stair treads were trimmed in gold and surfaced with a pearlized material. We were proud of the structural engineering in the backlit double sided logo in that the structural integrity of the piece incorporated this iconic logo. We produced 2 of them for the store as well as 4 other smaller units that were similarly themed.

Each bottle was brightly underlit with a low-profile LED disk

Sunglass Hut: Chanel

For Sunglass Hut's Chanel promotion, we produced and installed large backlit images, underlit plinths and large LED-lit hoops in gold, black and white for the windows of their 5th Avenue flagship.

Tekserve - We Know Storage

For Tekserve's latest announcement touting their expertise in yet another important aspect of technology,  namely: storage. We were asked to help design and install this display of their 5 best storage options for professionals, amatuers and aesthetes alike. Each storage option is displayed upon an underlit plinth, each describing the distinct virtues of that option. Behind the plinths is a large frosted plexi sign boldy declaring WE KNOW STORAGE.
