Epoxy resin
As a design element
Epoxy resin is one of many materials Spolar Studio incorporates into custom architectural installations, experiential environments, donor recognition systems, and functional artwork. Its versatility allows us to introduce depth, movement, color, and texture into larger compositions, often combining resin with wood, metal, lighting, and other fabricated elements.
Explore how we use epoxy resin as a creative and functional design element across a diverse range of projects.
Fireside Theatre | Lounge ice-inspired ceiling feature
DESIGN, PRODUCTION & INSTALLATION: Spolar Studio
-
Spolar Studio designed, engineered, fabricated, and installed a series of custom illuminated ceiling features that create the illusion of looking upward through layers of ice. Integrated into the surrounding architecture, the installations combine custom-engineered aluminum structures, textured epoxy resin lenses, and LED lighting to create an immersive overhead experience.
Each irregularly shaped ceiling feature incorporates a translucent resin lens designed to capture the fractured appearance and visual depth of natural ice. Additional sculpted resin textures create raised, ice-like formations, while integrated LED lighting enhances the illusion of light filtering through a frozen surface.
The installation demonstrates how Spolar Studio uses epoxy resin as one component of a larger experiential environment, combining structural fabrication, material experimentation, and integrated lighting to transform an architectural ceiling into a distinctive visual feature.
PROJECT FEATURES: Illuminated Architectural Ceiling Features • Custom-Engineered Aluminum Structures • Textured Epoxy Resin Lenses • Sculpted Ice-Like Formations • Integrated LED Lighting • Translucent Resin Fabrication • Experiential Design • Custom Fabrication & Installation
AO Smith | Epoxy Resin Countertop
DESIGN, PRODUCTION & INSTALLATION: Spolar Studio
-
Spolar Studio created a custom epoxy resin countertop for AO Smith, transforming a functional architectural surface into a distinctive piece of branded artwork. The installation combines fluid resin artwork with integrated LED lighting to introduce movement, color, and visual depth into the space.
The custom countertop demonstrates how epoxy resin can extend beyond conventional surface finishes, becoming an expressive design element that supports a larger branded environment. Through specialized finishing and integrated illumination, Spolar Studio created a functional feature with a sculptural presence.
PROJECT FEATURES: Custom Epoxy Resin Countertop • Fluid Resin Artwork • Integrated LED Lighting • Functional Branded Art • Custom Resin Fabrication • Architectural Surface Design
Fireside Theatre | Lounge Resin Countertop
DESIGN, PRODUCTION & INSTALLATION: Spolar Studio
-
Spolar Studio designed, fabricated, and installed a 60-foot custom epoxy resin countertop for the Fireside Theatre lounge, creating an illuminated architectural feature that contributes to the space's immersive environment.
The installation combines a sculpted subsurface with epoxy resin and integrated LED lighting, producing layers of depth, texture, and visual movement across the length of the counter. Custom millwork supports the resin feature, bringing together artistic fabrication and functional construction in a single installation.
As part of Spolar Studio's broader experiential design work at Fireside Theatre, the countertop demonstrates how materials, lighting, and sculptural techniques can transform an everyday surface into an integral part of the guest experience.
PROJECT FEATURES: 60-Foot Custom Epoxy Resin Countertop • Sculpted Subsurface • Integrated LED Lighting • Custom Millwork • Dimensional Architectural Feature • Experiential Design • Custom Fabrication & Installation
Bradley foundation | living plant wall
DESIGN, PRODUCTION & INSTALLATION: Spolar Studio
LIVING PLANT SYSTEM & MAINTENANCE: Ambius
-
Spolar Studio developed a custom architectural feature for the Bradley Foundation that brings together natural materials, sculptural resin work, and a living plant installation. The composition incorporates live-edge wood slabs and an epoxy resin river feature, creating a visual connection between the organic character of the wood and the fluid appearance of resin.
Custom millwork, hand-applied wood finishes, and a fabricated solid-surface enclosure provide the architectural framework for the installation. The living plant system, provided and maintained by Ambius, completes the composition with an additional layer of natural texture.
The finished feature demonstrates Spolar Studio's ability to integrate specialized materials and fabrication methods into cohesive, large-scale architectural environments.
PROJECT FEATURES: Epoxy Resin River Feature • Live-Edge Wood Slabs • Living Plant Wall Integration • Custom Millwork • Fabricated Solid-Surface Enclosure • Hand-Applied Wood Finishes • Mixed-Material Architectural Installation
SSM Health | Beaver Dam Epoxy Resin Artwork
DESIGN, PRODUCTION & INSTALLATION: Spolar Studio
-
Spolar Studio created custom epoxy resin artwork for SSM Health in Beaver Dam, using metallic pigments and specialized resin finishing techniques to produce a distinctive branded installation.
The composition explores the movement, depth, and reflective qualities of colored epoxy resin. Carefully developed color relationships and custom finishing transform the material into a dimensional visual feature designed for the healthcare environment.
This project demonstrates the expressive possibilities of epoxy resin as a medium for branded artwork and architectural environments.
PROJECT FEATURES: Custom Epoxy Resin Artwork • Metallic Pigmented Resin • Branded Environmental Art • Custom Resin Finishes • Fluid Resin Composition • Custom Fabrication & Installation
Ovation communities | Helen bader memory care Color-Cued wayfinding
DESIGN, PRODUCTION & INSTALLATION: Spolar Studio
-
PROJECT FEATURES: Color-Cued Wayfinding • Memory Care Environment • Illuminated Resin Artwork • Custom Art Panels
North Shore Congregation Israel | Epoxy Resin Donor Plaques
DESIGN, PRODUCTION & INSTALLATION: Spolar Studio
-
Spolar Studio fabricated custom epoxy resin donor recognition plaques for North Shore Congregation Israel, combining metallic-colored resin, precision laser engraving, and specialized matte finishes.
The plaques introduce subtle variation in color and surface character while maintaining a cohesive presentation across the donor recognition installation. Laser-engraved donor names are integrated into the resin surfaces, bringing together decorative material expression and functional recognition.
The project demonstrates how custom resin fabrication can elevate traditional donor plaques through distinctive color, texture, and finishing techniques.
PROJECT FEATURES: Custom Epoxy Resin Donor Plaques • Laser-Engraved Donor Names • Metallic-Colored Resin • Custom Matte Finishes • Dimensional Donor Recognition • Custom Resin Fabrication & Installation
Ovation Jewish Home | Epoxy Resin Mezuzahs
DESIGN, PRODUCTION & INSTALLATION: Spolar Studio
-
Spolar Studio designed and fabricated custom epoxy resin mezuzahs for Ovation Jewish Home, building on the visual identity of a previous installation within the facility.
The original project featured backlit resin panels in distinct colors, designed to help memory care residents recognize and identify their rooms. Using the same color palette, Spolar Studio created coordinating mezuzahs that carry this visual connection into smaller, meaningful architectural details.
Each mezuzah was crafted by pouring solid blocks of colored epoxy resin and slicing them into individual pieces. A recessed opening was then created on the back of each piece to accommodate the traditional prayer scroll.
The result is a collection of custom mezuzahs that combines material craftsmanship, Jewish tradition, and thoughtful design continuity throughout the facility.
PROJECT FEATURES: Custom Epoxy Resin Casting • Color-Matched Design • Precision Cutting • Recessed Scroll Compartments • Custom Fabrication
