PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Tolar Manufacturing Company recently completed the design and fabrication of 41 custom-built, "papel picado" themed, transit shelters for the City of Santa Ana, California. Working closely with ND Construction, Inc., Tolar Manufacturing brought to life the vision of Suzi Furjanic, an Associate Planner with the City of Santa Ana Public Works department. Her concept was to embrace the popular Mexican folk art known as "papel picado," the elaborate designs created from cutting colorful sheets of tissue paper. Suzi's vision for the transit shelters was to take the rugged steel structure and enhance and soften the lines with colorful acrylic roof panels and other artistic elements. Tolar Manufacturing was up for the challenge of blending form and function so as to not lose the important durable integrity of the shelter while effectively bringing the artistic elements to life.
