Have you ever seen a giant record cast in iron? Urban Accessories brought exactly that to life for the Johnny Cash Trail Art Experience in Folsom, CA. The intricate centerpiece—crafted from precision cuts, molds, and groove reliefs in cast iron, treated with a proprietary rust conditioner, and accented by a striking bronze center trim—honors the legendary Johnny Cash through thoughtful artistry and meticulous design. This wasn't just any installation; it was an ambitious, complex tribute woven seamlessly into a stunning landscape by our friends at RRM Design Group. The outcome? An immersive blend of music, history, and natural beauty. Fantastic work by Urban Accessories on expertly turning this vision into reality! Have you walked the Johnny Cash Trail yet? We'd love to hear your impressions! #LandscapeArchitecture #UrbanAccessories #PublicSpaces #PublicArt #JohnnyCashTrail #OutdoorDesign #StreetFurniture #SustainableDesign
