I was going through my photos the other day and realized
that I never shared this experience.
MAC Presents
brokered a deal with Citi and the Rolling Stones for the exclusive presale and
official sponsorship of the “50 and Counting” tour that kicked off back in
April. We were hired to
conceptualize and build-out a private lounge to host Citi VIP's and Rolling Stones’
friends and family. We sought out
one of our dear friends - and a top interior builder and designer - Josh Farley of WRKDesign and created a sexy and
incredibly awesome room that toured with the band for two months. A ton of blood and sweat went in to this room, but no tears.
The concept ultimately chosen out of three different submissions was “ Glam Rock.” The room incorporated the lavishness of rock and roll at it’s
“sexiest." To accomplish this we
used rich and luxurious elements that were bold yet simple. The overall feel was one of “vintage-rock-glam” and
incorporated loud, masculine elements of gloss and chrome, with accents of metallic and extravagance. The space
incorporated all things “Glam” but with a modern and industrial swagger. Walls held oversized beat-in, vintage American and Union
Jack flags and side tables held curated photo books documenting the Stones' history as well as other antique artifacts representing the time.
Each market gave us another challenge with different footprints to transform but we made it work, and we made it work well.
Below is our inspiration and detail story boards that inspired us with the concept, and a few photos of the actual lounges we created on tour.
