New York, NY, October 24, 2012 ?(PR.com)? Acclaimed Television Production Designer, Jeff Hall, owner of Jeff Hall Design ("Dr. Oz Show," "The Talk," "Fashion Star"), recently took home a Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design for "The Nate Berkus Show," with the assistance of floral design expert, Trish O'Sullivan, owner of Trish O'Sullivan Design Group.
The hallmark of the award-winning set were two 8 x 12 foot living walls. The living walls featured 375 plants each, and took 3 days and 5 designers from Trish O?Sullivan Design Group to complete. Both walls had to be watered, cleaned and fertilized weekly by Trish O?Sullivan and her floral design team to keep the walls thriving. These living walls were conceptualized by Jeff Hall Design and designed and installed into the set of "The Nate Berkus Show" by Trish O'Sullivan Design Group.
"One of the main design elements on 'The Nate Berkus Show,'" states set designer Jeff Hall, "was a living wall. It was important to both the studio [space] and the design to be authentic and completely green. After interviewing Trish O'Sullivan, it was clear that I had found the perfect collaborator. Trish accepted the challenge and became a major collaborator to the Emmy Award winning design. Trish O'Sullivan designed and created the ultimate backdrop for "The Nate Berkus Show." It was the first "living wall" in any daytime talk show," continues Hall.
And according to floral design expert Trish O?Sullivan, ?The concept of an eco-friendly ?living wall landscape? built into a television set was a pioneering set design concept. This was the first television studio set to incorporate a living wall into its design. Jeff Hall came up with the idea of a living wall for the 'Nate Berkus Show' set and hired my floral design team to execute his vision.?
Plants used to create the living wall for the Emmy Award winning "Nate Berkus Show" set included: neon potos, moon valley pilea, golden gate peperomia, exotica purple waffle, allusion arrowhead syngonium and echeverierias among others.
