Gallery Design by Johnson Chou Inc.

Gallery Design by Johnson Chou Inc! The designers from Johnson Chou Inc are working hard to make the Ontario Crafts Council's Eastern Gallery space cohesive, stunning and functional.

The OCC section will go for minimal elements but must also balance out the sales need of a space and be more practical (for example, the units that make up the walls, shelves, etc will be on wheels for set-up, and all participants will get some on-site storage for necessary restocking-- dimensions dependant.)

The elements the designer wants to use will incorporate lighting (from above and diffused from below), concealable shelving for storage in each unit, shelving and hanging racks for display, walls, a sales counter, etc. The furniture will be displayed free standing, and there will also be several mannequins for clothing display.

Here are some preliminary sketches! The floor plan and more details are to come. This is just to peak your interest!

This concept looks great! The universal, clean, well-lit aspect will be very useful to us (and for the SouthWest crowd next year , perhaps!). Very flexible! I'm assuming, that because each unit is lit, that I can have an extra power outlet for my lamps.

Thank you to the OCC and designer for their efforts.

I like what I see so far. I was wondering if it was possible to know how many linear feet would be available per artisan. It might help us to visualize what and how to show our production.

I like what I see so far. Is it possible to have an idea of approximately how linear feet each artisan will have to display.

I thought I liked what I saw, until I got the final layout last night and saw that each artist has 4 linear feet that is 18 inches wide for display -- total of 6 square feet -- a far cry from what we were told was to prepare for 45 square feet of space, albeit some of which was to be used for "empty space".
