75 State

A Modern Tribute to Boston’s Art Deco Heritage
Móz Designs’ Bold New Feature Wall in Boston’s 75 State Street Office Building

September 2024 — Móz Designs helped bring the design vision for 75 State Street in Boston, MA, to life with a custom metal feature wall installation. Positioned within the crescent-shaped lobby, the installation embraces modern functionality while reflecting the Art Deco character of the building’s exterior—serving as a striking focal point that immediately captures visitors’ attention and anchors the revitalized space.

 

Design & Craftsmanship

The installation comprises 72 custom aluminum panels spanning 1,409 square feet, strategically placed at lobby portals to frame striking entrance experiences. Each panel features precision laser-cut chevron patterns inspired by the building’s original exterior motifs. Together, these chevrons form an artistic narrative of birds in flight—an elegant gesture that brings movement and nature into the urban interior.

To heighten the impact, the panels are backlit with RGBW 4D LED lighting systems and paired with a Móz light-diffusing backer. This combination delivers an even, luminous glow while enabling dynamic, programmable displays. From subtle wave effects to vibrant seasonal palettes, the system adapts seamlessly for holidays, events, or shifts in atmosphere throughout the day.

Materiality & Installation

The installation utilizes 0.125″ aluminum panels finished in Móz Fog Grain Medium Bronze polycoat, offering both refined visual depth and the durability required for a high-traffic lobby environment. To achieve a seamless appearance, the project incorporated the Móz Key-Slot Wall System, which provides concealed fastening for a clean architectural finish. This system is also ideally suited for LED backlighting, allowing the panels’ chevron patterns and lighting effects to shine without distraction. Custom bracket systems further ensure integration with the lobby’s existing architecture.

Performance & Experience

This retrofit project illustrates how intentional design and advanced fabrication can revitalize urban spaces. The backlit chevron patterns not only reflect architectural history but also transform into a living, time-responsive feature that adapts to the rhythm of city life.

By bridging aesthetics and function, Móz Designs’ Laser Cut Metals create a striking focal point that both honors the building’s legacy and elevates the visitor experience. Sustainably sourced and engineered for longevity, the installation underscores Móz’s commitment to design innovation in commercial environments.
