Robin Hood Benefit 2019

ATOMIC had a blast teaming up with the Robin Hood Foundation to transform the Javits Center in New York City into an impressive evening event for guests. Our Set Construction team worked vigorously constructing multiple scenic elements for the event. With education being the focus of the David Stark team’s design, ATOMIC built larger-than-life elements typically found in schools. As guests approached the entrance into the benefit event, they were greeted with a 13′ tall chair that resembled a school desk chair. Entering the event, 5,000 colorful donated backpacks lined the hall. Our team provided the netting and clips that were used to hang the backpacks. Exiting the hall into the cocktail space, a 9′ wide and 13′ tall calculator stood in a sea of brightly colored scenery. Our team constructed the calculator and installed internal battery operated LED lights to make the calculator screen glow. Throughout the cocktail room, our team installed custom built column surrounds, with internal cubbies that were used by the dancers during the event. Other ground supported scenery in the cocktail room included a 16′ wide abacus and a 9′ tall right angle. Hanging elements built by our team included multiple welded metal frames, a square root, a large lime green box, a bar graph integrated with video and a 15′ wide infinity loop made of plywood and hung on a tilt. Our team installed star drops surrounding the cocktail room and black drapes around the perimeter of the dining space.
