Color Waves

Winter is finally ebbing and as Spring approaches, Porthault's new window is bursting with bright and happy colors to wake you up!

A look at Geoff's design for the windows. Porthault is famous it's wavy (or scalloped) edges on its sheets and towel, which helped to inspire the whimsical take on this shape.

The color palette was inspired by the merchandise, and Geoff creates a simply and vivid vignette using reverse painted walls, floors, floating frames and tassles.

The theme continues around the corner, as the mannequins show off the latest robes

Giorgio Armani Holiday 2011

Bronze was the color of Giorgio Armani's Christmas decor and this past December, we were asked to produce the risers with thick beveled acrylic tops, reflective floors and backdrops for their New York flagship store and 10 other luxurious locations. Mirrored bronze plexi-glass was specially etched in a diagonal pattern that added a subtle sparkle as you moved by, highlighting the glamour and subtle beauty in the clothing.

Our giant lampshades for Victoria's Secret go nationwide!

These giant ribbon wrapped lampshade may look familiar as we have blogged about them in the past when we did the flagship Victoria's Secret stores in Chicago, Hawaii, and New York. What makes this post different is that our production of elements likes the lampshades have now been expanded to include boutiques nationwide. Below is another, closer look at our lampshades both big and small!

Sunglass Hut

NEVER HIDE! is the new slogan of Sunglass Hut's latest promotion for interchangeable lenses. For the window on the right, we produced a series of mechanized lenses that moved up and down, behind the FLIP OUT vinyl on the window.

Inside the store, we installed a series of floor-to-ceiling photographs interspersed with video projections of floating lenses which you can see above in the 'shades' of blue.

Something to white your appetite

For the latest Steuben Glass window, Geoff designed and installed a modern white domestic interior showing a bar and dining table that stylistically reflects the V-shaped motif of Steuben's latest barware and drinking glasses. To highlight the brilliant crystal, everything else was painted white, including the plants and even the flatware.

The Butterfly Effect

For the Hugo Boss store in Hawaii, we designed and produced a permanent sculpture of a flutter of butterflies. Carefully cut from aluminum and enameled in cool shades of blue and green, the butterflies are suspended from thin steel cables at different lengths to cascade down the staircase amidst photos of tropical foliage. Below are some shots of the project in production. The execution was delicate as the entire sculpture was completed in New York and shipped directly to Hawaii ready to hang, er.. fly!
