2017 National Sign Competition: Unique Signs Winner (Best in Show)
July 31, 2017
Designer/Manufacturer: Total Sign Service
Submitter: Rob Linley
Client: Sporting Life
Location: Calgary
Materials/Methods: A custom system had to be designed to suspend three decommissioned ski lifts—loaded with dressed mannequins and merchandise—from the ceiling of the store. Two electrical winches were mounted to structural steel beams in the ceiling, from which steel cables and eye bolts were connected to each of the lifts. The clothing and gear are changed out seasonally, with hiking products and bikes attached in the spring and summer.
