A show inside a monument.
Audio Obscura Kingsnight at the Van Nelle Fabriek
LED panels, lasers and mirrors, set against a UNESCO World Heritage facade. The design follows the architecture instead of covering it.
We partnered with Audio Obscura for the design of their show with Marlon Hoffstadt during Kingsnight. Together, we designed a show that not only mesmerised the audience, but also highlights this unique industrial venue.

Light design · Audio Obscura · Van Nelle Fabriek 03The design
Our design team created a refreshing new concept using a combination of LED panels, lasers and mirrors. The goal was a visual show that highlights the building's industrial atmosphere and merges the design with the local architecture.
