Living in a material world

Today the Structured Green crew had the pleasure of donating our marvelous podium made for the Creative Coast's inaugural Innovation Awards last Friday, to the Herty Advanced Materials Development Center. The podium is built from reclaimed timber and covered in beautifully rusted tin sheets (cast-offs from the set of the Bagger Vance movie).

Herty is a fascinating company who deal in the creation, testing and development of new materials. It may sound vague but in actuality these guys are helping people to produce and market cutting edge material innovations.

For us, this is a crucial sector. With new discoveries being made in material science, we're given the media to create pieces of furniture who's life cycle, from inception onward, is low to no impact on our environment.

More good news on the horizon, we'll be sure to keep you posted.

Structured Green contributes to the Creative Coast Alliance's 2008 Innovative Awards Ceremony

Structured Green was proud to have participated in this year's Creative Coast Alliance Innovative Awards Ceremony. The food, sponsors, and contributions to the event were nothing short of spectacular. The awards show was a first for Structured Green and we were truly honored to have had the privilage to participate in the annual showcase.

We helped develop an "eco-friendly" stage set up accompanied by a comfy modern lounge area for all guests to enjoy. The stage podium was constructed from salvaged lumber from a delapidated home and covered w/ scrap metal from a local junk yard -it sounds creepy, but check out the result in the pic above. The stage back drop is a 10' version of the Creative Coast's logo constructed entirely from various aluminum cans -over 600! 11 Matching "leaves" were built out from random cans as well and placed at ground level around the stage. We also managed to sneek a small bamboo table on stage to showcase the intricate trophies designed for the event.

The Friday night event was truely spectacular and our friends at the Creative Coast sure knew how to put on a good show. Everyone at Structured Green had a blast and we look forward to the next big event.
