Suspended banners humanize expansive space

Issues of architecture and space made this a complex project, which won an Outstanding Achievement Award in the interior banners category of the 2007 International Achievement Awards. Architects visually lowered the 12m-high ceiling, attempting to humanize the expansive space. Three large banners were suspended from the ceiling, which created a canopy that respected the linearity of the building. The banners’ curved elements helped create a sense of movement. Curves in the banners were designed with the idea of a “river of life” or “life journey,” and key colors complement the stained glass windows and help soften the space. The 4.6m section’s registration was checked by laying them on a gym floor, which was the only space large enough to see them in their entirety.

Hello,
We are exhibiting our boats at the Miami Boat SHow next month and we'd like ideas and quotes for a suspended banner.
