To celebrate the new retrospective exhibition of artist Paul Thek at the Whitney Museum of American Art, we were commissioned to design the opening party held at the museum. Paul Thek was famous for his unusually vibrant color sense, use of raw materials and glass boxes with surprising contents. Drawing upon this sensibility Geoff chose an offbeat and bold color palette. Glass Boxes were used to contain the candles and flowers of table centerpieces. The entrance screen shown below was made of stained 2 x 4's with hardware cloth holding a broad swath of hydrangeas, dramatically side lit. Below the screen is a collection of various sized glass boxes holding a variety of lit candles.
Like the Hydrangeas, an array of boldly colored plates adorned the tables.

To helps Saks 5th Ave celebrate the launch of a new collection of Estee Lauder Re-nutriv beauty products, we built and installed a free standing wall with a super-graphic, gray carpet and custom made steel risers for product display. And we even did the flower arrangements! Because of event logistics, we magically manifested this entire display in under 90 minutes!

Looking for her man of steel, the folks at fashion designer Nicole Miller recently hired us to produce a set of polygonal steel platforms on different shapes and levels for display at her showroom.
We also made these minimalistic steel sliding doors, guaranteed to shield against arch enemies and other tales from the kryptonite!
