CUT: a Wolfgang Puck Restaurant
Site specific permanent installation
The Venetian, Las Vegas
Collaboration with:
Justin Nilson, Avery Brooks and Associates, Las Vegas, NV
“This is a great example of cross collaborative design. We created an architectural detail that solved many design goals:
- 1) softened the acoustics of the space
- 2) referenced old world basket aesthetic taken to a modern macro scale
- 3) created an elegant visual crown surrounding the dining room
- 4) required no further surface treatment or finishing
- 5) wool Felt inherently suppresses flame, so no added treatment was required
- 6) sustainable and non-toxic
- 7) maintenance free for 10 years
JA FELT’s team designed and fabricated the tension based hanging system using custom fabricated industrial Felt and anodized metal rods. After rigorous studio training, the JAF team hand wove the felted strips on site. No seams were visible.”
