This 7 metre tall replica of one of America's most coveted trophies, The Stanley Cup, was commissioned to be exhibited in Time’s Square, the heart of New York City. With integrated lighting, a display fountain and water dispensers that provided an interactive element, coupled with a tight two week lead time, this was a project I couldn't turn down. A welded steel base frame and counterweight system incorporated early in the design ensured certification for the structure by City Engineers. The lower portion was largely aluminium while the upper a mix of ply wood and 3D CNC milled foam. A urethane hard coating ensured the giant hockey trophy was waterproof and sturdy enough to survive the tour to other hosting cities.
