August Update: Custom Fixtures and Decor

Greetings from The AV Company!

In our office, we always try to keep new, fresh ideas flowing! We enjoy playing with new design concepts that we haven't seen around yet. So we often find ourselves building custom fixtures and decor for our clients!

One recent example might be the pieces that we built for the NAMIC 2014 Management Conference at the Williamsburg Lodge this past June! One of our client's requests was to have large rear projection screens surrounded by gold frames that reflect the history and style of the Williamsburg area. Well, as you can imagine, finding frames this size might be rather difficult. So we built some!

We also enjoy building custom lighting fixtures! These fixtures were built for Glass Haus Kitchen by our principal designer. He wanted something that would make an impact while enhancing the unique contemporary feel of the space. We think he succeeded!

Transformation Tuesday: Barn Lounge

Greetings from The AV Company!

Welcome to our second installment in our Transformation Tuesday series! This week we are taking a look at a very special wedding that took place at Woodhaven Farm in Scottsville, VA. In addition to setting up tented spaces for dinner and dancing, we were tasked with overhauling a barn to create luxurious lounges for the couple's guests!

Using some candles, colored lighting, sheer fabric, and some furniture, we transformed the barn's interior into this vibrant lounge area! This beautiful wedding was a welcome challenge, and we were so happy with the end results! (Photos by Jen Fariello)

June Update: Architectural Panels

Greetings from The AV Company!

We've had a pretty busy year so far, so we thought we might send you an update on what we've been up to, and what we are excited to implement in upcoming events!

Over at The AV Company, we strive to meet our clients' needs while providing them with fun, visually interesting, exquisitely composed environments that enhance the experience of their events. One tool that we've been using to achieve this lately is the architectural panel. These panels are versatile pieces that can be used in a multitude of ways. They can be custom-built, lit, and even projected upon (more on this next month!).

We recently had the pleasure of working with the Darden School of Business at UVA on this year's Principal Donor Celebration! For this event, we decided to use panels to frame the main stage area. Take a look at the stunning result!

Back in February, we also received the chance to work with UVA on their TEDxUVA student speaker competition. This thought-provoking event called for a contemporary sculptural element and with the help of the UVA School of Architecture, this is what was developed!

We're pretty excited to see this type of technology being developed further! Check out this new "SuperWall" from Atomic Design that we came across this week!
