MILK STUDIOS (meatpacking district, nyc)
when we were first approached with this project for the centerpiece of MILK's MAKEUP launch party, it was described as an explosion of neon shapes- waves, triangles, starbursts, and lines. as is evident, not much changed from conception to execution. amazingly, we were able to devise a mounting solution for all the neon components in which no armature of any sort was used. the neon was completely self supported by its own structure and integrity. no easy task i must say, but then again, neither is starting a new product line. kudos and good luck with the new endeavor...
