The story behind this design and installation:
This 12’ Replica tree is We were contracted to design and install 5 Replica Holiday Tree’s ranging from
adorned in the color theme
to mimic the paintings 7.5’ -12’ in several lobbies of this office campus. They were looking for an ‘Out of the
behind it. Blues, Minty Box Design and Color Theme’. While doing the walk-thru I noticed the Modern Art
Greens, Yellow/Golds in Painting on the walls and determined that was the way to go with coordinating
ornaments and elements the décor to the Art. This client did not want Traditional Décor in any way, shape or
complimented the Art.
fashion. We achieved the design using the abstract colors and textures to represent
nature in it’s modern form.
What makes this design biophilic?
With the Color Themes and Ornamentation used (Replica Flowers and Plants) Bio-
philia was achieved by using these elements. Stepping outside the box with the use
of the Replica was bringing Nature outside In! The elements of Succulents, Tillandsia
, Hydrangea, Poinsettia’s arenot your typical ornamentation, thee client and her ten-
ants were extremely pleased with the results of our design.
This Tree is so outside the box
in the way of color combina-
tions. Orange, Hot Pink and
Deep Red along with a Mus-
tard Yellow combine together
to enhance the abstract Art
painting. This combination
sounds like it wouldn’t work
together but it does in a
magical ‘Holiday’ way! This
tree was the favorite of all the
tenants who were following
us throughout the install.
In this lobby the client wanted
a design in Reds and Silvers
that lookedlike fireworks ex-
ploding. The 7.5’ Replica LED
lights with the SilverSprays
shooting out all over the tree
accomplished what the client
was asking for.
