Event Creative's new illuminated columns can be rented for a variety of purposes. The fixtures have been used as everything from chandeliers to stage backdrops, signage, pedestals for flower arrangements, and registration lecterns at events such as the Joffrey Ballet spring gala and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's "The Walk" gala. The columns range in height from eight to 16 feet. Designers can wrap them in materials ranging from rice paper to fabric and plexiglass, and can incorporate corporate colors or logos into the design. Pricing varies depending on the size, quantity, and covering.
