The Lexington design team worked with Henson to investigate materials and finishes that would help express the company's identity. The booth needed to grab the attention of people at a distance and hold the attention of those already in the booth. The layout of the booth is organic and easy to move through as well as offering enough coverage to hold a private meeting with clients. Gentle curves were incorporated along the top of the walls to keep the playful feel from a distance. The centerpiece of the booth is Kermit, as "Atlas" holding the world on his shoulders; he stands 12 feet above the show floor. Corrugated sheet metal covered the exterior of the walls while the interior was kept very smooth. All the cabinetry was custom made to fit intricately into the curvature of the walls and keep the fluidity of the space. The interactives, storage, artwork and products were designed into the booth from the beginning to keep function at the foremost importance.
