Oscars Green Room Unveiled
Posted on 23. Feb, 2012 by Thatcher Wine in Blog, Recent Projects
The 2012 Architectural Digest Greenroom at the 84th Academy Awards® designed by Waldo Fernandez, with a library by Juniper Books, has been officially unveiled! Today the media had tours of the room – a number of articles will start to appear tomorrow, plus various TV coverage throughout the weekend and the event itself on Sunday February 26, 2012.
The library we created for the Green Room is very much a tribute to the history of film and the 8 decades of the Academy Awards®. It is also unlike anything anyone has ever seen before with books, thanks to custom book jackets and the great progress we have made over the past couple years designing and printing unique libraries.
Many hours were spent choosing film stills from the archives of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. Then weeks were dedicated to diligently laying out and printing the images, so that when wrapped around books, the sets make up one scene. The idea was to capture the spirit of the movies in a way that has never been done before. The presenters, award winners, and other visitors to the room may only have a few minutes to relax and enjoy – the books give them something to look at, and perhaps be inspired by.
Other suppliers of fine furnishings and artwork for the Architectural Digest Greenroom include Questroyal Fine Art, Caesarstone, Samsung, HP, Schumacher, Feizy Rugs, California Classics Reserve Collection Flooring, Giati Designs, Pollaro Custom Furniture, Nicholas Mongiardo Studio, John Carpenter / Young Projects Gallery, and Donald Kaufman Color.
It’s been a long day here in LA – so I’ll leave it there for now. More news and photos to follow.
