Design scope

Design & concept · Stage design · Entrance experience · On-site Supervision

Design objectives

Fresh stages and an entrance with an immediate effect.

The client wanted stage designs that lift the visual side of the programme and an entrance that’s social-media-friendly. It all has to fit the venue’s strict rules and a tight budget for the floor area.

Sun Effects design concept

Everyday items used in ways you don’t expect.

Starting from the client’s yearly theme, the concept takes everyday retail items and puts them to work as stage and entrance design, built to catch attention and get shared. We keep everything inside the venue’s rules and the budget while making sure neither one shows.
