The company recently saw the competition of it's 10th year and chose to celebrate the same over a 10 course meal for 50 guests.

I started out by mapping out the space and making a detailed as-built model of the space on SketchUp
Working prototype of a 'fluttering heart' using
an Arduino, servos and a motion sensor.
Giant hearts constructed out of bamboo slivers and covered in cloth. These lamps were inspired by the famous 'Noguchi' Lamps.
The theme of the party being 'Gratitude' and 'Fireflies', thousands of little LED fireflies of various sizes and forms were made and hung in different locations throughout the space.
The final space.
