During the design of the new entry doors for The Franklin, it became apparent that some type of ornamentation was necessary.  Rather than finding an off-the-shelf, generic tile, Stanev Potts chose a rosette from Trumbauer’s historic ceiling to study, scale down and re-interpret in bronze.  The multi-step process was remarkably direct and satisfying:  From a photograph of the ceiling, a      2-D drawing was generated, the line work was then extruded to become a 3-D model used to 3-D print prototypes.
