The images above are of the waterfall-like Ball-Nogues 'Table Cloth' installation. Last year I wrote about their American Apparel canopy; it's clear this duo specializes in cascading creations.
Created in the courtyard of UCLA, the Ball-Nogues 'Table Cloth' installation serves not only as an interesting seating area for students, but also as a dynamic backdrop for summer concerts. Thank you Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues, for this outstanding outdoor structure.
