2016 INGENUITY WORKROOM COMPETITON
After drafting and finalizing the swag patterns, the next challenge was trimming. Schauble had suggested ordering extra crystals from the custom lighting in the room, and these were used as the jabot points, but for the rest of the edging Adams hand applied Swarovski beads. The gilded scrollwork pieces at each peak were custom made to the exact size and scale necessary. Finally, in order to enhance the “floating� concept, Adams hid all evidence of the L-brackets used mounting with swags underneath the boards as well.
