The main lobby of new Eaton World Headquarters, Beachwood Ohio, (Cleveland metropolitan area,) has a unique stone and metal feature. The high-tech lobby features a waterjet fabricated 48 foot X 60 foot map of the world composed of the VALS Quartzite, of Switzerland, fabricated by world-leading waterjet fabricator Creative Edge of Fairifeld, Iowa.
This stone was selected by the American architectural firm Pickard Chilton for the lobby of Eaton. Ben Simmons, lead architect for the firm, selected the stone for its special qualities. The German exhibit and show designer, Richard Appelbaum Associates, New York office was selected to create the lobby presentation. Amid a hanging 40-foot LED cylinder-shaped digital display system, and a high-tech addressable digital wall is the floor piece….a map of the globe, symbolizing Eaton’s global operations.
