Eventscape

CREATE WHAT'S NEXT
The moment technology gives us a new tool, we do something incredible with it. We use it to create new methods of fabrication, new materials, new construction techniques. Our clients are automatically at the most adventurous level of design. Each emerging tech tool is like a new player on our team, creating a powerful new range of options for our work. And still, it’s all about your solution, how to make this work for you.

We create landmarks. We’re known globally as a designer and manufacturer of top quality, custom framed structures clad in any material. Our work is the landmark element in architectural, retail, hospitality, exhibit, and event applications. Our services include design, engineering, fabrication, project management, shipping and installation. Since our establishment in 1993, our projects have been installed worldwide, including Canada, the US, the Netherlands, Norway, Korea, France, England, Mexico, Honduras, and the Bahamas. Our innovative, dynamic team of design and fabrication specialists allows our clients to take their design to a daring new level. Together, we “create what’s next.™”

As a team, we’re unstoppable. Individually, we’re architects, engineers, industrial, interior and graphic designers, metal fabricators and fabric specialists…who reshape space. Our logistics team lives and breathes your deadlines. Once they meet your assemblers on site, your project comes alive. We’ve earned an international reputation for our custom one-of-a-kind structures in any form, any scale, and any material.

High profile, award-winning work comes from a finely controlled process.

Concept: Our inventions grow out of your visions, so we encourage you to work with us from day one. Together, we define our goals and agree to exploratory design processes if necessary, as our structures exceed the limits of traditional building techniques. Your involvement at every stage makes the project a true collaboration.

Estimate: We provide you with an estimate or firm quote, depending on the level of detail provided and the scope of your project.

Development/Engineering: At this stage, we’re contracted with your purchase order and deposit, and we develop further design drawings, review sample materials, and secure your approvals prior to fabrication. We use approved submittal drawings to coordinate with any outside contractors, as we constantly explore new materials and manufacturing processes.

Fabrication: Each project is assigned a dedicated account representative and project manager, who is directly responsible for the project from concept development through to final installation. A team of experts who insist on the highest standard manages all fabrication in-house. Since the majority of our projects are custom and pre-fabricated in our facility, we will keep you updated on the progress of the project with real-time images. Small projects typically need four to six weeks production time; larger projects are based on scale and complexity. We can accommodate certain rush orders.

Shipping: Your project is engineered to knock down to a practical size for shipping. All projects are packed in custom crates, bags, or boxes, by our skilled warehouse team. Our logistics team directs turnkey shipping by air, ground, or sea, anywhere in the world, using hourly delivery tracking and our own international brokers to ensure your deliveries are on time.

Installation: We can facilitate installation globally, from on-site supervision of local labor to turnkey solutions using our own qualified installation teams.

Fornarina, Las Vegas, CA - Design: Giorgio Borruso, Photographer Benny Chan/Fotoworks,
Four organic, internally lit, framed fabric light features with integrated area lighting, float beneath dramatic, 28 foot ceilings in this upscale retail store. The goal was functional lighting that doubled as a stunning sculpture. Pre-programmed to pulse at night, the whole store turns fuchsia, the store’s brand color. A smaller store opened in Rome where the grand light features were replaced with fuchsia-framed, fabric change rooms. The Las Vegas store won ISP/VM&SD Store of the Year in 2004 and NASFM’s Excellence in Design award in 2005.
“functional lighting that doubles as a stunning sculpture”

Fila, New York, NY -Design: Giorgio Borruso, Photographer Benny Chan/Fotoworks
Chrome columns, one-piece framed fabric ceiling, and a double curved, digitally printed, framed fabric wall—are all Eventscape features in this flagship store. The 15 foot elliptical chrome columns are constructed of layered bands that expand and connect with the ceiling. The one-piece framed fabric ceiling represents running paths winding through the store. Winner of 2006 NASFM Store of the Year, Grand Prize and Full Fixture Grouping Awards, and Winner of the 2005 ISP/VM&SD 1st Place Specialty Store.
“15 foot tall elliptical chrome columns and one-piece framed fabric ceiling”

Snaidero Showroom, Los Angeles, CA- Design: Giorgio Borruso, Photographer Benny Chan/Fotoworks
A seven-part ribbon ceiling structure encircles the four kitchen displays in this 1700 square foot showroom. They also form into a frame and fabric cantilevered mezzanine. The designer wanted the structure to appear solid, so four layers of fabric eliminated translucency and gave the illusion of extruded plastic. The ribbon structure incorporates the corporate color, inviting the customer through the showroom, focusing on the kitchen design displays as the heart of the home. Winner of an ISP/VM&SD 1st place Showroom Design in 2005 and 2006 NASFM Outstanding Merit Award
“a seven-part ribbon ceiling structure… the illusion of extruded plastic”

Miss Sixty - Las Vegas, Nevada and Aventura, Florida, New York, NY
Design: Giorgio Borruso Photographer Benny Chan/Fotoworks, Our suspended “pod” change rooms have been likened to cocoons from which, wardrobed in new merchandise, the shopper emerges transformed. The fitting rooms had to balance privacy with a strong sculptural value. These fitting rooms are now an icon of the Miss Sixty brand. Each module has a pivoting door and is downlit with recessed spots that diffuse into the interior. Designed by store designer of the year for 2004, Giorgio Borruso, this project won a NASFM Specialty Store Outstanding Merit Award in 2005 and Honorable Mention in the SADI 2005 awards and has been featured in over 20 magazines throughout the world.
“sculptural fitting rooms become a brand icon”

Holt Renfrew, Toronto, ON Design: Holt Renfrew
Suspended, internally lit, and fabric wrapped, these epic columns are the focal point in the cosmetics area of this upscale department store. The columns are re-skinned with a different color for each seasonal theme, making them an endlessly variable landmark in the store.

Rootstein, New York, NY Design: Michael Steward, Rootstein
Curved panels of framed fabric form the perfect backdrop to the exotic mannequins on display. We designed an environment of curved, ten-foot-high, fin-shaped structures, with larger inversions suspended from the ceiling. The mannequins’ characters are well matched with the sail- or tent-like shapes, inspired by Arabic motifs.

Palm One, 28 Locations across US Design: Askew Nixon Ferguson Architects
These PVC-lit display units were created for over 20 nationwide store installations in airports and malls. The freestanding cone displays include an internally lit, acrylic shelf for displaying cell phones. For varying space dimensions, we designed a telescoping structure that fits various ceiling heights, with electrical coming from ceiling or floor. Displays are pre-packaged for quick, easy installations.

Blue Jays Store, Toronto, ON Design: Shikatani Lacroix Design Inc This project scored big on impact. Visiting fans are surrounded by their team colors in eye-grabbing graphics. Framed fabric ceiling panels create a memorable visual branding for this busy retail store.

Burberry, New York, NY
Suspended and illuminated, framed column-wraps create an energetic environment at this retail store in New York City. The feature is striking by day--and makes an even greater impact in the evening--for a round-the-clock iconic presence.

HOSPITALITY
B’Lo Nightclub, New York, NY Design: Icrave
We created a shifting-spectrum, ambient light feature that added impressive scale to a dark, low space. The choice of highly translucent fabric made the most of minimal fixtures and kept the project costs down.
“a shifting spectrum of ambient light through translucent fabric”

Casino Niagara, Niagara Falls, ON – Design: Reich + Petch Architects, Photography: Richard Johnson
We bet on large-scale, backlit, suspended fabric ceiling panels in the lobby, to create the open feeling of an atrium. We won. Wavy fabric ceiling panels in the sports lounge set the space in motion.
“backlit ceiling panels create the open feeling of an atrium”

Blowfish, Toronto, ON – Design: Johnson Chou
Diners love the implied privacy of a stainless steel mesh canopy that separates a small space into dining and bar areas. Suspended from the ceiling, the four-foot wide panels were edged with steel frames. Minimal suspension suggests a floating plane. (A challenge—as each piece weighs 91 kg/200 pounds and relies on the hang points for leveling.)

The Pier at Caesars, Caesars Palace, Atlantic City, NJ Design: The Rockwell Group Projection: Focus Lighting Photo: Taylor Photo
A dramatic addition to Caesars Palace, this four-storey, 100 shop, high-end retail facility extends 900 ft directly out into the Atlantic Ocean. The Pier features an Eventscape element in which framed fabric panels float suspended from the ceiling, evoking the clouds and waves of the seascape nearby. Soothing waves of light projected on the ceiling structures create the illusion of a relaxing stroll along the beach.
“floating panels evoke the seascape”

Famous Players, Various Locations Design: Stephen Pollard
The dramatic custom fabric structures installed at the Famous Players movie theater gradually morph from color to color, and are a visible beacon above the concession stand. The towers are nine to 18 feet tall and have pivoting bases, which allow the elements to be adjusted on site. This design appears in several locations across Canada.

Karu&Y, Miami, FL Design: Levine Calderin & Associates
This new destination restaurant combines several environments in one upscale complex. We created and installed the flowing framed fabric ceiling panels that expand the spectrum of mood and atmosphere. In the VIP lounge, we created custom light features that fill the space with soft ambient light.
“expanding the spectrum of mood and atmosphere”

COMMERCIAL
Stockton Event Center, Stockton, CA Design: 360 Architecture Photography: César Rubio and Ed LaCasse Photography
This arena in California boasts a truly grand concourse fabricated from 21,000 sq.ft of custom wall systems. Sloping, panelized, framed fabric systems extend 48 feet high and 480 feet wide. The tensioned fabric system allowed the architects to continue the signature prow form of the roof into the interior concourse of the stadium.
“21,000 sq.ft. of custom sloping panelized framed fabric wall system”

Bay School of San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, Design: LMS Architects, Photos: Tim Griffith
A warm and comfortable space was created with the use of our custom framed fabric panels. The Student Centre used the undulating ceiling panels to soften and lower the ceiling, reduce noise levels, and create an inviting space for students to meet, eat, study, and relax. In the Library custom light fixtures give a soft even glow to the area.
“Undulating ceiling panels create an inviting space”
Hazelton Lanes, Toronto, ON Design: Paul Davies
Undulating ceiling panels and wrapped columns punctuate this open area in an upscale urban retail space. The giant, framed fabric ribbons not only add motion, but they diffuse light and noise. They also lower and soften a high sky-lit ceiling in the courtyard. The elongated urn shapes conceal structural column supports and fill with light from overhead fixtures.

Lloyd Center, Portland, OR Design: TVS Interiors
With a line of columns for inspiration, we fabricated internally lit, framed fabric column wraps that transform this simple arrangement into a landmark. The finished columns are a beefed-up, architectural version of torcheres. Our client was impressed with the impact of a custom sculptural element in this large retail mall.

Charles Schwab, New York, NY- Design SOM Architects Lighting Design: Susan
An internally lit wall 275 feet wide by 20 feet high with three-dimensional graphics, created an eye-catching landmark sign for this investment bank. In-house testing was conducted to ensure the material selection matched the criteria of even light distribution and no shadows. The project won AIA’s Excellence in Interior Architecture, 2005.

Seneca at York, Toronto, ON Design: Eventscape Inc.
Traditional blinds were impossible to install in this unique triangular window area. Conceptual development included a sun and shade study to determine optimum angle placement of the translucent PVC fiberglass shades. Solution: An effective shading system for a computer workroom that allows light throughout the day without compromising visibility of computer screens.

Grand River Center, Dubuque, IO Design: HOK Sport
Large-scale suspended fabric ceiling panels in this convention center lower the ceiling height, reduce and diffuse noise levels, and give a greater sense of warmth to the space. These lightweight structures have removable skins for maintenance and are completely seamless, despite sizes of up to 10 feet by 20 feet.

DSW Filene’s, New York, NY
The six story atrium in this building needed a focal point and a way to drench the space in light. We designed an internally-lit, framed, fabric sculpture that possessed the necessary impact as well as the ability to disburse light though the full height of the space.

Palo Alto Medical Clinic, Palo Alto, CA Design: Studio Winterich
A striking, light-drenched space gave us permission to investigate positive and negative space. Our elements are groups of nested ellipses that form an eye-catching art installation. The framed fabric sculptures were suspended from the lobby ceiling and also offer some buffering of the west coast sun.

Kaval Wireless Technologies, Markham, ON Design: Helen Moffett Associates
Suspended below lighting fixtures, our curved elements radiate a calm glow in the boardroom and main reception area. The ceiling panels are custom forms of seamless, off-white micro-fiber. The panels diffuse the necessary amount of light while maintaining the high-ceilinged, loft ambience.
Paradise Mall Duty Free, Busan, South Korea, Design: RTKL Associates and The Plan
The air comes alive in this exuberant project. We filled a brilliantly lit 80 ft. high atrium with swooping, diving, curving forms of framed fabric. Their shape and position give the space a rhythm that surprises and thrills the customers.
“the air comes alive with swooping framed fabric forms”

Infinite flexibility. We’ll build any structure at any scale, with no restriction on form, or material.
Proven innovation. Our techniques have been used and applauded by many industries since 1993.
Complete freedom. Our building methods are a unique supplement to traditional building methods.
Resourceful and respectful. Our structures are updateable and recyclable.
Instant landmark. Our obsession with detail and craftsmanship guarantees that every structure is as arresting visually as it is functional.

Without our clients, we wouldn’t have this gallery of amazing projects. Thank you for your inspiration and for requiring us to invent.

What’s next in our evolution? We’re building structures clad with new materials; with sheet metals, wood veneers, and engineered plastics. We’re moving outdoors, taking structures into the open air.

Thank you for pushing our boundaries. This is truly an open source design system, in which unprecedented requests stimulate our creativity and our technology.

When we bring our newest techniques back to you, you use them in yet another unprecedented way- and the body of knowledge grows without limit.

Remember, we only created it because you asked for it.

“As with most projects, the Stockton Arena was completed within the parameters of an aggressive construction schedule and a very tight budget. Invaluable in the success of this project was the fact that our Eventscape team was very knowledgeable about their product from design to installation. This depth of knowledge, along with their can-do attitude, provided for a streamlined design, fabrication and installation experience. An experience we look forward to repeating.”
Ian Glidden, 360 Architecture-

“Eventscape gave me the ideal collaboration. They were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and immediately understood what I wanted. Eventscape met our demanding schedule, budget, and installation deadline. It was a pleasure working with Eventscape. I look forward to working with them again so I can explore new ways to use their innovative products and production capabilities.”
Giorgio Borruso, Giorgio Borruso Design

We needed an attractive element for accomplishing the project successfully.
I had to consider both the local ocean characteristic and identity in the atrium.
Selection to decide the feature of "Eventscape" led the interior to good result.
We called it "sails" or "kites". It was a great and dynamic. As well, it gave a present of visual enjoyment and impression to all the people visit the shopping mall. I had kept in close touch with Eventscape team in spite of the long distance and time difference. We gave and took the drawings and the site condition in detail and discussed about the construction. Therefore, the installation and supervision were completed successfully with no problem.
I believe the Eventscape works have unlimited potentiality for creative design.

Seung Yeon, Chung, The Plan

Gareth Brennan started Eventscape in 1993 as a young entrepreneur with a vision. Since then the company has grown over ten times in size and has become a globally recognized success story. The rapid expansion has necessitated a recent move into a much larger building. Completely renovated, it includes a large metal shop, sewing area, woodworking and plastics area and a clean zone with white floors and 30’ ceilings for staging of large-scale projects. We have also recently acquired another building to further expand our metal shop and extend our fabrication capabilities. Our open-concept modern office is full of creative professionals who enjoy work and life. Each day our positive friendly environment facilitates a balance between the fast paced creative fabrication and a rewarding team atmosphere. We look forward to working with you on the next challenge.

We use minimum materials and efficient construction, creating very little waste. Fabric surfaces and metal frames can be recycled. Installation has little impact on the original space. Construction and installation are clean and efficient, compared with drywall, carpentry or millwork. Structures are adaptable to all spaces, and also control light and heat, for energy distribution. Even shipping is low impact, with a 60-80% reduction in cargo, over previous structural systems. As well, we are expanding our rental division to create more opportunities for re-using our structures.

How we work:

Concept: A conceptual ideation and exploratory design process with clients to create truly unique structures that exceed the limits of traditional building techniques. We encourage our clients to work with us from the early conceptual sketch phase so that they can utilize our years of expertise.

Estimate: Estimate or firm quote, depending on level of detail provided and scope of project.

Development/Engineering: Once contracted with a purchase order and deposit, further design drawings are developed and sample materials reviewed and approved by the client prior to fabrication. Approved submittal drawings produced by Eventscape will be used to coordinate with any outside contractors. We constantly explore new materials and manufacturing processes to continually evolve and push the limits of our capabilities.

Fabrication: Each project is assigned a dedicated account representative and project manager that is directly responsible for the project from concept development through to final installation. All fabrication occurs in-house by our team of experts to the highest standard of quality. Since the majority of our projects are entirely custom and pre-fabricated in our facility, digital photographs are often emailed to our clients during production to give them a real-time understanding of actual progress. Small projects are typically 4-6 weeks production time and larger projects are based on scale and complexity. Rush orders can also be accommodated.

Shipping: All projects are engineered to knock down to a practical size for shipping. All projects are packaged in custom crates, bags or boxes by our skilled warehouse team. Turnkey shipping solutions by air, ground or sea anywhere in the world are coordinated by our qualified shipping and logistics team, utilizing hourly tracking of deliveries as well as our own international brokers to ensure all deliveries are on time.

Installation: We can facilitate installation requirements globally, from on-site supervision of local labor to turnkey solutions using Eventscape qualified installation teams.

Testimonials:

“Thank you very much for supporting wildlife by donating the use of beautiful fabric tension sculptures. Lazarus worked tirelessly to set them up, and they looked absolutely incredible – they helped transform an old brick factory into a beautiful and elegant space. As you may have noticed, the guests were absolutely thrilled by the look that was created, and it would not have been possible without Eventscape’s generosity.
Nathalie Karvonen, Executive Director, Toronto Wildlife Centre

“Thank you for your company’s significant contribution to our garden at International Flora Montréal. We have been receiving wonderful comments form the media and visitors alike. I enjoyed collaborating with Eventscape on this venture and am very pleased with the outcome. Each of the team members went out of their way to ensure the garden would be a success.”
Martin Wade, Martin Wade Landscape Architects

“Eventscape gave me the ideal collaboration. They were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and immediately understood what I wanted. Their expertise with lightweight and flexible materials was a real asset; the elements were easy to transport and suspend. We also found a fabric with the perfect degree of sheen and translucency. Eventscape met our demanding schedule, budget, and installation deadline. It was a pleasure working with Eventscape. I look forward to working with them again so I can explore new ways to use their innovative products and production capabilities.”
Giorgio Borruso, Borruso and Alessandro Architects

“The designers and installation technicians at Eventscape exhibit a markedly higher degree of empathy and sophistication toward design than most other companies in their field, particularly in their ability to interpret the conceptual/theoretical objectives of my projects. This ease of understanding facilitated a true collaboration between my company and the team at Eventscape. As a result, the whole design process was a real joy that extended through the project from concept to installation.”
Johnson Chou, Johnson Chou Inc.

“Working with Eventscape was exciting. We collaborated closely and the Eventscape team was a great asset to the project. We got a visually appealing solution to three issues at once. Both the client and our firm were very happy with the results.”
Roy Gill, Moriyama and Teshima Architects

“This project presented many challenges, the main one being how to take fabric, one of the client’s main product categories, and integrate it into the showroom in a non-traditional manner, creating a metaphor for the fabric and drapery collections. Working with Eventscape offered the perfect solution. I could use their extensive knowledge base on custom fabric structures to create a unique lighting fixture. The whole process was really challenging, but Eventscape provided seamless service and problem solving abilities. In addition, their technical support really enabled me to push the limits of my design ideas. The final result perfectly complements the client’s overall design aesthetic.”
Chris Wright, Figure 3 Network Design

“Quality and workmanship was great; very easy people to work with. We created CAD drawing; they created 3-D drawings and shop drawings. They were positive and self-assured, certain that they were going to build something that would work. It came off so beautifully.”
Jeff Ashwell, Maxam Design International

“We gave them our design; they helped us find the right materials and proper methods to build it quickly and efficiently and meet our vision. Their design was flexible enough to take to different locations without having to rebuild anything. Their team was very helpful, very knowledgeable; we had a great working relationship.”
Derrick Choo, Askew Nixon Ferguson Architects

Everybody loves them (the Eventscape elements); everybody wants to know where we got it. The structures actually looked just as great without the skin. Their product is wonderful. Their designers are the perfect liaison between creative and production. They even helped with installation. Really great people; we recommended them to Bloomingdale’s, Saks and Neiman Marcus.”
Michael Steward, Rootstein

“Nothing but a positive experience, working with Eventscape. We did this (museum) project in conjunction with Yoyo Ma, as a temporary architectural element to compliment his performances. One element has been retained as a part of a permanent exhibit and the Museum asked us if they could have a replica built of the elements that left on tour.
Out partnership went very smoothly…very fast timetable, limited budget, the Eventscape people felt up front that all was achievable! Certainly would recommend Eventscape and would look forward to working with them again. Our client would echo our sentiments.”
Paul Gross, formerly with Moshe Safdie

Any Form

Miss Sixty - Las Vegas, Nevada and Aventura, Florida

Our suspended “pod” change rooms have been likened to cocoons from which, wardrobed in new merchandise, the shopper emerges a “butterfly”. Designed by store designer of the year for 2004, Giorgio Borruso, this project won a NASFM Specialty Store Outstanding Merit Award in 2005 and Honorable Mention in the SADI 2005 awards.

Fornarnia – Las Vegas, Nevada

Tentacle shaped light fixtures suspended from the 9 metre high ceilings give this upscale retail store a dreamy, unreal feel. Created with aluminum frames and stretch fabric with light fixtures mounted inside, this store won ISP/VM&SD Store of the Year in 2004 and NASFM’s Excellence in Design award in 2005.

Snaidero – Los Angeles, CA

Seven swooping ribbons encircle the four kitchen displays in this 1700 sq. ft. showroom. Steel framed fabric “wings” on the 200 sq. ft. mezzanine connect the two spaces. Winner of an ISP/VM&SD Best in Store Design Award in 2005.

Fila – New York, NY

This clothing store wanted a new upscale, trend-setting image for its flagship store. The flowing shape of the one-piece aluminum framed fabric ceiling structure curves around the center columns (also fabricated by Eventscape) and guides the customer through the store.

B’Lo – New York, NY

Aluminum framed fabric light cones were created for this night club to add drama and versatility with their constantly changing colors.

Any Scale

Charles Schwab – New York, NY

A light wall with graphics 230’ W x 20’ H created an eye-catching landmark sign for this investment bank. The project won AIA’s Excellence in Interior Architecture, 2005.

Casino Niagara – Niagara Falls, ON

Large-scale backlit suspended fabric ceiling panels in the lobby create the open feeling of an atrium. Wavy fabric ceiling panels in the sports lounge give a sense of movement.

Grand River Center – Dubuque, IO

Large-scale suspended fabric ceiling panels in this convention center lower the ceiling height and give a warmer sense of intimacy to the space.

Stockton Event Center, Stockton, CA

21,000 sq.ft. of fabric panels on this lobby wall extend 48’ high to create a truly grand concourse for this new arena in California.

Famous Players – Various Canadian Locations

The dramatic custom fabric structures installed at the Famous Players movie theater gradually morph from color to color with pre-programmed lighting, and are a visible beacon above the concession stand. This design was implemented in several locations across Canada.

Daimler Chrysler Booth– Toronto, ON

For the 2005 Canadian International Auto Show, three product areas were created using colored cones over 30 ft. H with corresponding colored circular rings of 15 ft. and 20 ft. in diameter.

US Open – New York, NY

Three curved canopies each 20 ft. high by 40 ft. wide were constructed to create an impressive outdoor entrance to this prestigious annual pro tennis event.

Umbra Headquarters- Toronto, ON

The tension fabric light cones were suspended from the ceiling using aircraft cable. The downward tension was created using a 30 lb. lead plate with a 3 in. hole drilled out of the center which helped contain the beam of light form the fixture inside the cone and focus it onto the product showcase below.
Any Material

Blowfish, Toronto, ON
This restaurant used a metal mesh canopy partition to efficiently create a visual sense of privacy for diners. Suspended from the ceiling, the 4 ft. wide panels were supported by steel frames.

Floorworks, Toronto, ON

This company gave more focus to their product by using their hardwood flooring materials on a canopy partition. Framed by aluminum, visitors to their booth could easily touch and get a close-up view of the wood.

Palm One, 28 locations across the U.S.

These PVC lit display units were created for over 20 nationwide store installations in airports and malls.

Fila, New York, NY

Chrome bands, all bent by hand, wrap around the undulating shape of the columns. Creating a visual anchor for the store, and each weighing 1500 lbs, the free form curves and gradual increase in diameter of the columns also give a sense of movement to the store. The reflecting chrome bands were also used on the cash wraps, continuing the desired sleek, up-scale store image.

Seneca at York, Toronto, ON

Traditional blinds were impossible to install in this unique triangular window area. Conceptual development included a sun and shade study to determine optimum angle placement of the translucent PVC fiberglass shades. Solution: An effective shading system for a computer workroom that allows light throughout the day without compromising visibility of computer screens.

Rouillard, Toronto, ON

Aluminum framed lit fabric cubes with full color graphics were used to showcase furniture in this design trade show booth. An outer translucent fabric enclosure invited the customers to enter to discover the inner glowing unit. Rows of fresh snapdragons inset in the lower cube gave the unit the additional message of “green” product lines.

Fredericks of Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA

Pleated fabric column wraps with interior lighting give the feeling of a giant lampshade to create a sense of intimacy in this lingerie store.
Eventscape wins VMSD 2006 Best Store Fixture of the Year for Fila. Eventscape’s custom pod featured in Interior Design article, October 2006, “Inspiration on tap” Grip office, Eventscape expands metal and fabrication division with purchase of new building adjacent to existing office.

Any form:

Fila, New York, NY
Chrome columns, one-piece framed fabric ceiling, and a double curved, digitally printed, framed fabric wall—are all Eventscape features in this flagship store. The 15 foot elliptical chrome columns are constructed of layered bands that expand and connect with the ceiling. The one-piece framed fabric ceiling represents running paths winding through the store. Winner of 2006 NASFM Store of the Year, Grand Prize and Full Fixture Grouping Awards, and Winner of the 2005 ISP/VM&SD 1st Place Specialty Store.

Karu&Y, Miami, FL
This new destination restaurant combines several environments in one upscale complex. We created and installed the flowing framed fabric ceiling panels that expand the spectrum of mood and atmosphere. In the VIP lounge, we created custom light features that fill the space with soft ambient light.

Bay School of San Francisco, San Francisco, CA,
A warm and comfortable space was created with the use of our custom framed fabric panels. The Student Centre used the undulating ceiling panels to soften and lower the ceiling, reduce noise levels, and create an inviting space for students to meet, eat, study, and relax. In the Library custom light fixtures give a soft even glow to the area.

Any Scale:

The Pier at Caesars, Caesars Palace, Atlantic City, NJ
A dramatic addition to Caesars Palace, this four-storey, 100 shop, high-end retail facility extends 900 ft. directly out into the Atlantic Ocean. The Pier features an Eventscape element, in which framed fabric panels float suspended from the ceiling, evoking the clouds and waves of the seascape nearby. Soothing waves of light projected on the ceiling structures create the illusion of a relaxing stroll along the beach.

Paradise Mall Duty Free, Busan, South Korea,
The air comes alive in this exuberant project. We filled a brilliantly lit 80 ft. high atrium with swooping, diving, curving forms of framed fabric. Their shape and position give the space a rhythm that surprises and thrills the customers.

Harley Davidson – coming soon…

NEWS

We are continuing to grow.
In March 2005 we moved into our completely renovated office with full metal shop, sewing area, woodworking and plastics area, and large staging area for assembly and final inspection prior to shipping. In December 2006 we will be expanding the metal and fabrication division in a new building, adjacent to the existing office.
