SuperWall
Submitted by Atomic
At the Songwriters Hall of Fame gala in June, Atomic launched its latest answer to the challenges of modular scenery: the SuperWall. It’s a freestanding, ground-supported backdrop system built to work like Lego building blocks. The 22.5- by 22.5-inch SuperLevel panels require no tools or additional hardware; they can be mixed and matched to create multiple heights and dimensions across a stage, set, or exhibit area. Since the backdrop doesn’t use truss, pipe and base, or rigging, it is attractive from all sides.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation celebrated with its annual Breath of Life gala at the National Building Museum in Washington in 2011. Streamers divided the National Building Museum atrium into three spaces.
To separate the perimeter—where cocktails were held—from the dinner area for the event's 2010 iteration, the team hung large lampshades from the ceiling. The pieces measured about two feet high and 22 inches in diameter, and their black and white embellishments were replicated in a pattern projected on the floors. The event again took place at the New York Public Library, with Bakula Design overseeing decor.
