IndieWalls and Jeffrey Beers International created several installations in the Renaissance New York Midtown, including a sculptural wall hanging in the lobby by Abby Goodman, which has actual painted stiletto heels that appear to be emerging from the solid white background.

Another installation in the Renaissance New York Midtown from IndieWalls and designed by Jeffrey Beers International, is an Abby Goodman-created piece that spans the length of the elevator bank in the pre-function space. The triptych produces an abstract geometric pattern using collar stays in shimmering metallic finishes.

Further along in the pre-function area in the Jeffrey Beers-designed Renaissance New York Midtown, a depiction of the city skyline also by Abby Goodman (and curated by IndieWalls) is made entirely of hexagonal pencils mounted on a flat panel.

Local Language worked with Looney & Associates on the Hilton West Palm Beach in Florida to create a full-height undulating feature wall in the lobby, inspired by the reflective surface of the ocean at dusk.
