Design
lighting, video, sound and scent for the built environment. we work with technologies that work with our senses. explore our services
Why?
our core team all have extensive histories in theatre and entertainment, where all our
senses are used to set a scene and tell a story. these elements are often underutilised in our built environments. our aim is to enhance people's everyday lives by adding layers that make our spaces more
interesting and beautiful. ...because we all prefer silk over polyester.
How?
we design experiences, not just systems - making sure all of our elements work together
to deliver a unified and polished concept. technical systems
for creative results. from output levels and equipment aesthetics through to the programming and content, all our designs work toward the same goal. we bring show design into the real world.
