New York Marriott Marquis Installation

Matt and Ben just returned from a super-quick trip* to New York City to install this ceiling sculpture in the New York City Marriott Marquis in Times Square. (Experiencing such a ghost-town Times Square was certainly unique!)

The installation went totally smoothly, thank goodness.** The hotel security guys had nice things to say about the sculptures. And we especially love seeing so much color reflected onto the walls and ceiling.

*Turns out you can bypass New York’s mandatory quarantine period if you’re in the state for less than 24 hours. (Thank you, New York COVID-19 Hotline!)

**Total time in New York state: 22 hours, 50 minutes.

Marriott Marquis NYC Materials

In a few weeks, we’ll travel east to install this ceiling sculpture in the New York City Marriott Marquis in Times Square. Meanwhile, here’s a behind-the-scenes peek at the shapes that will become the sculpture.

Marriott Marquis NYC Ceiling Sculpture

Sorry to flood you with project renderings lately. But in a year as unpredictable and uncertain as this, we’re taking nothing for granted—and we’ve been so grateful for every single project that has allowed us to continue working, supporting our families, and adding beauty to a world that needs it more than ever.

Here’s an upcoming project we’re creating for the lobby of the New York City Marriott Marquis in Times Square. This will include two hanging ceiling sculptures, each about 10 feet tall by 5 feet in diameter. The pair of sculptures will flank the elevator bank, replacing some outdated light fixtures. The shapes will be made from translucent dichroic material. We’re so excited to see this project come together!
