Everyone is a designer!

Last week we sent out 2 jobs that were "redesigned" by the recipients.
For Walker's first birthday, we made custom wineglass shades to celebrate this momentous event. Smart guy - wineglass shades actually make perfect birthday hats!

For Bostinno's The Insider Awards we made some centerpieces that sat on one of our new custom stands, as well as some wineglass shades:

not sure - maybe that does look OK - just different to our original concept.

As a great friend often tells me: "Everyone is a designah"

New Wineglass Shade

Our newest shade design: a play on a tasseled lampshade! Perfect for birthdays or Mitzvahs. Let us create a completely personalized addition to your next celebration!

New Base for Custom Shades

Our goal has always been been to give our custom shades a "place to live". The trick is to get them up off the table in an elegant way and up until now that has generally meant using purchased elements like risers and vases. Finally we have developed a unique and totally custom base that is lightweight and elegant. Here is a first prototype topped with a whimsical shade. Of course, our shades are all customizable - but we liked these colors this week.

Many new base designs are in the works. Check back for the next burst of inspiration!

Custom Monopoly Bar Mitzvah

The client requested a customized decor for their son's recent Bar Mitzvah, highlighting their child's love of the Monopoly game, thus "Rossopoly".  These custom table centerpieces are lit from within, and turn slowly on a motorized base. Wooden dice provide a stand for the 3-D figure, each Monopoly real-estate section is customized to Ross's interests and life experiences.

Large Monopoly man adorned the entrance to the event, also provided by Illuminaria.

"Rossopoly" Board with guest list and table assignments.
