Design Firm: Ralph Appelbaum | Client: Eaton | Designer: Ralph Appelbaum Associates
As technology changes rapidly, Ralph Appelbaum Associates are working out ways to speak to overarching themes and trends in a way that is accessible, engaging, visionary and at times, even poetic. Enter Ralph Appelbaum’s Eaton Experience Center, a large-scale immersive multimedia installation that is integrated within the Eaton Center’s main atrium space. The entry was a Gold winner in our most recent Design Annual.
“Every morning when I drive up Eaton Boulevard and make the graceful turn into our entrance, I see the power of Eaton – our values and our culture visually playing out in this site,”
Eaton CEO Sandy Cutler described, shortly after the grand opening. “The bright pulsing blue emanating from our Customer Experience Center and Chandelier – the veritable power that comes from our customers that energizes our entire company.”
While the majority of users are Eaton employees, Eaton Center hosts visitors on a daily basis. The design served to inspire and inform both employees and visitors of the importance of Eaton’s activities on a daily basis. View their approach here.
