CSSI Creates Cafe-Style Atmosphere for Bell South
Continuing a long-standing relationship, 141 Communicator (formerly The Avid Group) and Chicago Scenic paired up again to design and build an environment in the Grand Ballroom of the Fox Theatre in Atlanta for a presentation of services and equipment to Bell South by Accenture. Project Manager Randy Bishop worked closely with Producer Ken Marks to make sure this fast-track project was completed on time and on budget.

CSSI Designer Robert Kovach was directed to design an area with a café-style atmosphere that would allow Accenture to present their high-end systems. The environment for the promotional event included two lounge areas complete with couches and plants to set the mood.

Additional décor included columns made of laminated wood that accented the corners of the lounges and incorporated indirect lighting for the space. The columns helped to highlight specific areas and added a feeling of height to the room. All ten columns were topped with inverted pyramid shapes and sconces that helped illuminate the space. Eight of the columns were used for ambient light while the remaining columns were placed around the room and used to display graphics panels with information about the new services.
CSSI also coordinated the pick-up and delivery of a very unique vending machine and twelve work stations that displayed additional information. The state-of-the-art vending machine, which required special shipping and handling, gave users the option of making a beverage purchase by using a cell phone.

CSSI Job Lead Mark Goeke, along with Wayne Adams, worked efficiently with 141 Communicator's freelance Technical Director Vinnie Ring to successfully complete the installation process within the allotted six-hour time block.
