For the opening of Conveyor @ Fred Segal in Santa Monica, the company enlisted Ludwig Clothing to create a Beethoven-inspired wall display. The result was these [blue paint dipped Beethoven busts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-dog).

The [bold wall design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bc17) features white busts of the famous composer, dipped in blue paint, on a [bright red wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiptoe-x-klein-blue). Above the Beethovens is a quote from Stanley Kubrik’s movie ‘A Clockwork Orange.’

Check out the colorful and musical creations for Conveyor @ Fred Segal by Ludwig, because if the company's motto is correct, ‘everything else is just noise.’
