This year’s Roof Garden commission at The Met Fifth Avenue (New York, New York) will be shown through October 29. “The Theater of Disappearance,” by Argentinian artist Adrián Villar Rojas, includes an installation from Infinity Canopy (Los Angeles, California) as an integral part of the exhibit’s visual design, providing shade and protection against the elements for the rooftop bar. The exhibit features replicas of hundreds of museum artifacts, arranged and fused together to form new pieces, with the Infinity Canopy in the background.

The 40x34-foot Infinity Canopy, featuring Sunbrella® Firesist®fabric, was fabricated and delivered within a week of the order date to meet the deadline for the exhibit. After the canopy had been installed, however, it was discovered that in one area, the canopy was 2 feet short (due to a conflict between the submitted plans and the actual trellis size).

Alan Shargani, founder of Infinity Canopy, explains, “Originally, Met officials were looking for a cover for their new pergola extension, and they were looking for the canopy with the scalloped look. They had contacted many local companies, but when they learned about the modular design of the canopy (which allows it to be modified and repurposed later) and our ability to deliver the canopy to them on time, they selected Infinity Canopy.”

He continues, “They love the canopy’s looks. They were thrilled and relieved that we were able to lengthen a canopy that was ordered short by mistake—and do it quickly and easily.” Installation was provided by the local Infinity Canopy dealer, Gregory Sahagian & Son (Hartsdale, New York).
