Visitors to Niagara Falls often drop into the Table Rock Welcome Centre on the Canadian side.

Iconic retailer Holt Renfrew in conjunction with the Italian Trade Commission planned a retail celebration of all things Italian; everything from luxury goods to fine cuisine. As part of that experience, Holt Renfrew turned to Great Lakes Scenic Studios to fabricate some large thread bobbins and needles to help decorate their flagship 100 Bloor Street West store in downtown Toronto.
The large bobbins were rigged to hang down from the ceiling to the ground floor in the elevator foyer. The thread playfully wove itself downward and hung in a magical suspension. The trick behind this effect was that it was actually made of an aluminum pipe that had been artistically bent and then painted to reproduce the look of real thread. The needle received a similar treatment, made of scenically painted MDF and aluminum.
Fabrication Highlight:
• 11 large pendant lights ranging from 4 to 17 feet in diameter

• 84 large 8x10 foot panels made of aluminum
• A pair of custom curved lighting trusses measuring 60 feet in length

One of the crown jewels of the Vaughan Mills recent 87 million dollar expansion is the much anticipated event court. A series of 11 pendant fixtures ranging in size from 16 feet down to 4 feet act as a beacon to the main event area. The lights are framed in aluminum and covered in fabric with red printed acrylic accent panels. One of the challenges of the lights was to ensure a uniform brilliance without dark areas or bright spots. This was achieved through the use and placement of thousands of LED’s. To accentuate the lighting in the area, we also custom built a pair of curved lighting trusses that measured a lengthy 60 feet across.
Fabrication Highlights:
• Hand-hammered bronze faceplate
• CORTEN steel base
