Hey, not sure where I would go on the internet to ask this question so I was hoping off chance one of you guys may know a thing or two about this. I wanted to make a seperator/partition wall but wanted to do it like the picture below. The pieces aren't glass but actually frosted plastic. Anyone know how I'd go about making one of these? The one in the picture is done with a drop ceiling but the one at my house would be a dry wall ceiling... Help me out if you can.

 

most applications like that come from a third party supplier and are bought by the company hired to do the interior design of an office building etc (they of course would probably sub-contract the work to professional installers probably from the manufacturing company)

I have done some of my own wall treatments and low voltage lighting like you see in cool bistros and magazines etc. What I had to do is up close and personal with the installed thing I liked to reproduce and see what it took to get the look. I took tons of notes and then researched the hell out the elements.

What hardware was used?

Does home depot or mail order catalog have the same type of harness or anchor part I need to do this or that?

What material is that? Can i go to local glass shop or plastics manufacturer and interview them about buying amounts of that material as I need them?

Basically, a lot of determination and research and some ability to take a couple of risks and experiment with some stuff and you can get pretty close to emulating any design element.

Basically that is what all these companies did when they created the look. they found what worked and what didn't and then bought in enough bulk to allow them to "customize" the machined parts to give them the polished look they wanted.

I work at a Hospitality Design firm and anytime we design or call for this sort of treatment we outsource it to a company that specializes in these kind of installments.

I think unless you have decent personal fabrication skills, it may be tricky for you to do this treatment yourself.

I personally can think of some ways to mimic this but a lot of it may be trial and error so Im not sure how I could really help in anyway.
