After a two-year renovation, Oakland-based metal experts Móz Designs have unveiled their inclusion in Georgia Aquarium’s new shark gallery. Located in the largest indoor aquarium in the world, the new 1 million sq ft shark exhibit features nine of Móz’s engraved columns supporting a sweeping overhang at the entrance. Specified by St Louis-based firm PGAV Destinations, each engraved column is etched with a wave-like pattern and washed in custom blue gloss paint and a shimmering iridescent topcoat.
“We enjoyed the challenge of transforming solid metal into organic wave-like columns for Georgia Aquarium,” said Móz Designs co-founder, Tripp Sandford. “Applications like this truly demonstrate what you can do with all of our metal options.”
Designed to accommodate Georgia Aquarium’s two million visitors per year, the columns are built to withstand high-traffic and heavy-duty cleaners. Rolled from 0.090” solid-core aluminium and spanning more than 14 feet high, the columns are ready to support attendees while maintaining a good-as-new appearance.
