Team:Lounge/Build
Carpet
The carpet will come in two 14mx4m rolls. to lay the carpet:
- cut 5m off the ends of both carpets
- layout carpet in a direction parallel with the flow of entry into the tent (see picture)
- one 9m piece either side
- two 5m pieces in the centre
- there are carpet tacks/nails to anchor the carpet into the floor. this needs to be done for each edge.
Note NO SHOES ON THE CARPET. it needs to be kept clean. people will be sitting on the floor/cushions/bean bags.
Decoration
The tent will be themed in a nautical style. The Lounge team are seeking extra person(s) to help with setup and ideas for decoration. Poke amran if you'd like to help.
You can assume there will be
- a carpet
- bean bags
- small tables
- lamps for the tables
- LEDs (from OHM2013)
Deco ideas
Lounge interior
Stuff to sit on
- Beanbags x 20 - 30 -> https://redmine.emfcamp.org/redmine/issues/111
- Pillows
- Mattresses x 10 (or more) ->
- Local pillow maker? Fabric person who has dummy mattresses? Ebay/people getting rid of old ones?
Tables
- Lackracks x 20 -> http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/20011413/
- (Vinyl)stickers to dress up the lackracks
Lights
- Table lamps -> http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/40055420/ + lightbulbs -> http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/30217885/
- Red/Blue paper + glue to make the lights pretty.
- Examples of dressed up lights:
- Examples of designs for the light deco:
- (You cut the designs out, stick them with glue on the insides of the lamps, put in a led/not-hot lamp, tadaa, prettiness)
- one or two bright lamps behind the bar
- 15 white or neutral tights, size doesnt matter
- 30 glow in the dark balls: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Glow-Dark-bouncy-ball-toys/dp/B007A34PC4/ref=sr_1_3?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1406581322&sr=1-3&keywords=glow+in+the+dark+balls
Other useful stuff
- Signs, made of wood or printed, saying:
- No Shoe zone (minimal 2 signs, for every entrance)
- No smoking inside
- Dead Man's Chest shoe store (an old ottoman, dark stained with old belts glued to it?)
- An idea for an arty/tech installation.Would there be a projector available to us? And a raspberry pie kicking around, or something. We could set it up to show twitter #messageinabottle and get peope to tweet at it from the lounge?
Neither are things I have access to. We could project it onto the side of the tent and put a giant bottle cut out on it?
Deco
- Hang fish from the ceiling
- A lighthouse on the wall, made by paper
- A (fake)sail on the wall
- A (fake)sail on the ceiling, LEDs strung across the top of the tent and billowing thin fabric draped across the top to simulate stars through the sails of a ship.(Could also be done as a feature one end of the tent.)
- Lifebuoys on the walls
- Messages in a (plastic)bottle hanging from the ceiling
