NOW BOARDING…
A 320,000 sq ft industrial convention hall transformed into a cohesive “around the world” experience for 8,000 guests. The challenge was taking a raw, open space and turning it into a seamless experiential journey—blending multiple global themes without feeling fragmented. This was achieved through intentional spatial flow and carefully designed transitions. Custom fabrication and large-scale decor defined each destination while maintaining visual continuity across the floor, while layered theatrical lighting and integrated LED and projection mapping added depth, atmosphere, and key moments within each “country.” Together, these elements softened the scale and created an immersive, high-impact environment that kept guests engaged throughout the night.
SET ATOP A STAGE DECK, OUR CUSTOM PROJECTION MAPPED PYRAMID WAS THE TOWERING WELCOME AS YOU ENTERED INTO THE SPACE. GRAPHIC COLUMNS + CUSTOM ‘STONE’ SCULPTURES ENHANCED THE SENSE OF SCALE + SYMMETRY WITHIN THE SPACE, WHILE GREENERY + WARM AMBIANT LIGHTING ADDED A SENSE OF DRAMA
FROM WARM AMBER LIGHTS TO A COLDER, SUBMERGED SENSE OF SPACE, ANTARCTICA BECAME A STARK CONTRAST FROM EGYPT. A PROJECTION MAPPED ‘ICEBERG’ SUSPENDED OVER A 360 BAR, CRYSTAL CURTAINS, STARK WHITE + CHROME FURNITURE, AND GRAPHIC DOUBLE SIDED CUSTOM ICE CAPS GAVE THIS SPACE SCALE + VISUALLY WITH THE WHITE + BLUE LIGHTING FELT, COLD.
TUCKED INTO THE CORNER OF THE EVENT HALL WAS JAPAN. INSPIRED BY JAPANESE KISSA’S, THE NATURAL CALMING NATURE OF SYMMETRY + CLEAN LINES WERE IMPARTED INTO THIS SPACE. CUSTOM DESIGNED CEILING STRUCTURES THAT WERE BROUGHT DOWN CREATED INTIMACY, WHILE LED ‘KOI PONDS’ ADDED FOREGROUND MOVEMENT. THE SPACE WAS DOTTED WITH LED CHERRY BLOSSOMS + CUSTOM DESIGNED ILLUMINATED SOJI SCREEN LANTERNS. WHILE THE LARGE LED SCREEN IN THE FAR BACK OF THE ROOM DISPLAYED MOUNT FUJI DURING THE DAY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EVENT, THEN AS THE EVENT PROGRESSED THE SUN WOULD SLOWLY GO DOWN TO DUSK, THEN NIGHT.
