Library for the Academy Awards Green Room – Coming Soon!

Posted on 23. Feb, 2012 by Thatcher Wine in Blog, Recent Projects

Big big news coming tomorrow.  For the past month we have been working hard (and quietly) on the library for the Architectural Digest Greenroom of the Academy Awards ®.  Tomorrow is the big day that the project will start to go public, and judging from the buzz so far it’s going to get a lot of attention!

Our involvement goes back a few weeks to a conversation we had with Waldo’s Designs, the AD100 firm based in Los Angeles, headed by Waldo Fernandez.  Every year Architectural Digest asks a preeminent designer to create the Greenroom and it is a much watched, trendsetting event.  Waldo was familiar with our custom jackets and gave me the opportunity to create something spectacular with the books.   I proposed a concept that no one had ever seen before – my design honors the rich visual history of film and the Academy Awards® and compliments the relaxing environment of the Green Room.

For about a month we created the library in our studio in Boulder, Colorado then shipped the books to California.  Earlier this week, I flew out to LA earlier and personally installed the books in the Green Room.

I’ll share some more information starting tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone at  Waldo’s Designs, Architectural Digest, the Kodak Theatre and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences!  We are honored to be part of this event.
