Solstice restaurant sign wins national award

A leading national sign industry source magazine, Sign Business, showcased Wood & Wood, Inc. of Waitsfield, VT with an honorable mention award for the design and fabrication of the interior Solstice restaurant ID sign in the 16th Annual Portfolio Sign Design Contest. This understated steel sign was one of many signature signs designed by Sparky Potter, owner of Wood & Wood Inc., to compliment the rustic, alpine architecture of the five-star Stowe Mountain Lodge. For this award-winning sign project, Potter and his team of craftspeople used a unique combination of eco-friendly fabrication techniques, including artistically painting the water-jet cut aluminum letters, accenting the corners with steel acorn nuts and installing amber LED lights on the sign back to cast a halo glow on to the natural stone wall.
