Overview

2000 pinwheels for Target @ TED Vancouver were assembled for the exhibit at the event.
• Precut 4″ pinwheels were supplied by Guild LA
• Pinwheels were made of synthetic paper
• Grommets/Eyelets were supplied
• Assembly was completed in 4 days

Goals

Assemble 2000 pinwheels in 2 1/2 weeks so they could be ready for assembly for the exhibit in development.

Process

Serendipitously I was connected by the owner of a supplier of grommets in downtown Los Angeles with one of the designers of the Target exhibit at Guild LA. The owner told him about my pinwheel business. So instead of purchasing the equipment and grommets to assemble the pinwheels in house, they outsourced the assembly of the pinwheels to my company Paper Arboretum.
