This Exhibit celebrated the 100th anniversary of Seaman Schepps, a jewelry designer based in NYC. The components were a 40 foot Maple wall case, a 25 foot square platform sheathed in lead with slimlight surrounds, 30 internally lit lead faced column cases in a grid, of course, and a custom pendant MR system. The entire exhibit was modular and traveled to the Gilbert Collection, Somerset house, London, and the KMA in Knoxville TN.
Massimo said the prototype was precisely what he visualized in his mind’s eye.
The platform system had raceways for the electrical harnesses and locked together via the column case inner boxes.
