Patterns

Longtime collaborator Billy Butchkavitz worked with HBO's Cindy Tenner to design a look in the Circa 55 restaurant and adjoining pool area that took its inspiration from the patterns on the stone mosaic walkways of Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana beach.

A dramatic 24-foot-tall, 130-foot-wide wall by Special Event Contractors covered with black paillette draperies created the backdrop for HBO's event while concealing two floors of hotel guest rooms.
