Truss Grid and Flying Truss System for Nike Store
Project brief
A.C. Special Projects were briefed to supply and install a bespoke truss grid and flying truss system for Nike’s new concept store in Westfield Stratford City.
Due to its layout, a substantial and unique atrium space was available reaching three metres back from the front façade. Nike Europe’s Retail Design Director, Greg Stobbs wanted to maximise the space as a versatile display area. The truss grid was required to move up and down for easy and safe accessibility and quick changeovers, it needed to look contemporary, attractive and quirky as well as being a practical support system for various displays to be hung below.
Currently being hung from the truss grid is a spectacular Shoebox Chandelier artwork created with multiple, differently configured strings of bright orange shoeboxes.
