The new terrace at the entrance to Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, NV
Tournesol Siteworks was part of one of the hottest tickets in Las Vegas last fall when renowned Washington DC chef Michel Richard opened his newest eatery, Central Michel Richard at Caesars Palace. The restaurant was named to several “Top 10″ lists within months of opening. Landscape architect Chris Attanasio designed the outdoor terrace using our Wilshire Collection rectangles to create the terrace space, and Downtown Collection as focal planters.

Two years after install, the GFRC Wilshire Rectangles still look great
We occasionally use this blog to check back in on projects that have been in for a while. Our Regional Sales Representative just re-visited this high profile project in downtown Los Angeles, originally designed by star architect Frank Gehry. The Walt Disney Concert Hall has quickly become an icon in Los Angeles. A few years after it opened, Gehry Partnerswas asked to design an outdoor seating area.

Tournesol's new recyclers - Model WR-REC-02 in the Shadow finish
Earlier this year we announced our new options for ash and trash cans, as well as a line of recyclers in our Urban and Wilshire Collections. We just got a few images of the first installation of the recyclers, at Claremont University Consortium’s Administrative Campus Center, located in Claremont, CA. Because they are located around a public cafeteria area, they’ll see the kind of use that they were designed for! Click to continue »

One of the most important ways to judge our product is not how it appears immediately after installation, but how it holds up to everyday use over time. Click to continue »
