Ford's new World Headquarters represents a bold investment in the future of work, bringing thousands of employees together in a purpose-built environment designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and connection. The 2.1 million-square-foot campus was installed to support evolving workplace needs while creating a distinctly Ford experience through thoughtful architecture, materials, and branded design elements throughout the facility.
At the heart of the building's public spaces, Banker Wire's Delta 24RG metal drapery serves as a striking design feature integrated directly into the lobby lighting installations. Finished in custom powder-coated Ford blue and white colors, the suspended mesh curtains introduce texture, movement, and depth overhead, creating an unforgettable first impression for employees and visitors. The installation transforms the space into an architectural design element that celebrates both Ford's heritage and its forward-looking vision.
Suspended from the integrated lighting features using Banker Wire's Loop hanging system, the custom powder-coated Delta 24RG mesh creates the floating architectural centerpiece. The lightweight, flexible spiral mesh seamlessly follows the geometry of the lighting fixtures, allowing the installation to function as both a decorative ceiling element and an extension of the overall lighting design. Finished in Ford's signature blue and white colors, the mesh reinforces brand identity in a dynamic visual experience.
Designed as a flexible spiral mesh pattern, Delta 24RG offers a balance of openness and visual density that complements contemporary interiors without overwhelming them. This metal drapery has woven construction that allows light to pass through and around the mesh, enhancing the surrounding fixtures while adding a layer of visual sophistication. The ability to apply durable powder-coated finishes gave the design team the freedom to incorporate Ford's iconic brand colors directly into the experience.
The new headquarters was envisioned as a workplace built to endure, using timeless materials and adaptable design strategies that can evolve alongside Ford's future. Banker Wire's Delta 24RG metal drapery is carried into additional areas of the headquarters to create a theme throughout the building. Repeating the material in multiple spaces helps establish a consistent visual language while reinforcing the Ford branding. Whether viewed as a dramatic overhead feature or a refined interior detail, the mesh curtain installation demonstrates how wire mesh can elevate large-scale corporate environments while helping iconic brands express their identity through design.
