SOKA Crystal Drape Treatment
A custom drape treatment for SOKA’s annual gala
BTB Events
For the annual gala held at SOKA, one of the producers at BTB asked me to design and fabricate a custom drape treatment made of long strands of clear crystal beads suspended from a large truss frame suspended from the ceiling of the venue.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”338″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1499111246337{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
The Design
We used the standard truss frame we had used in previous years as the basic foundation. The hundreds of strands of glittering acrylic crystals were secured to pipes at the warehouse where they where wound into bundles that could be unfurled on site. With the truss on the ground, the pipes where mounted to the truss’s top and the strands were unfurled and attached to a square of pipe secured at the frame’s center that was marked before hand so that everything would line up. Additional, prefabricated crystal elements where hung from the center and the whole frame was lifted into the air.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”341,338,334,339,340,335,337,336,342″ title=”Gallery”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
