The Audi Spectacle - A New Breed of Billboard

Audi, a brand exuding an attitude of self confidence and progressive thinking, and associated with the latest technology and innovative design, is a perfect brand to pioneer this entirely original concept, a new breed of “billboard” created by Access Agency. It is a display of four life-size Audi cars, suspended inside the silver rings of a massive Audi symbol attached to an iconic bridge structure or in front of landmark spaces — the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, Tower Bridge, Venice. The rings rotate around, light-up at night, and move up and down the bridge. Against the backdrop of spectacular urban architecture, the Audi installation reflects Audi’s continuous challenging of the status quo, its capacity to innovate, and its ability to avoid the bland and the ordinary.

But what will create valuable media attention and social media buzz is not just the actual final display, but the entire anticipation, the process of creation, the engineering feat of the installation and the spectacular launch event. The manufacturing and transportation of the gigantic rings, the installation of the rings, the hoisting of the vehicles, the first test of the lights, the rehearsals of the launch…By the time the installation is complete, and the unveiling event is about to start, the news about it will have reached those in the know.

The anticipation, excitement and buzz will culminate in an epic night-time launch event that we envision including a live symphony orchestra playing on a barge right under the suspended rings or on the bridge itself, a fireworks presentation or a LED light show above the bridge, and the ultimate unveiling of the rings.

A Life Size Pinball Machine You Can Play In

In a colourful and fun human-scale pinball machine, completely lit by LED lights, Modular introduced its latest LED ceiling lights, Spock and O’Leaf, for the first time to the general public.

The playing field of the game was divided into the same sections as the Modular lighting catalogue: Orientation, Accent, General and Dynamic making it easy for the “players”-- potential specifiers and buyers of the new lights – to pay attention to the lights, and not just the fun surroundings. Apparently, this energy-efficient exhibit used 70 % less energy than the company’s 2008 exhibit at the same event.

The Roeselade, Belgium-based Modular Lighting Instruments has showrooms across Europe and additional offices in the Netherlands and France.

Both of the new fixtures, Spock and O’Leaf, were designed by Bram Couvreur and Bjorn De Vos of Couvreur & Devos, also located in Roeselade.

Fritz Hansen Showroom Milan by Stefano Tagliacarne

Stefano Tagliacarne designed the first Milan showroom for Danish furniture company Fritz Hansen.

The spatial irregularity of the showroom, composed by three levels of different size and shape, are linked by a big red column and a wood clad wall, developed from the bottom of the basement to the top of the first floor.

Hatched At Louis Vuitton Bond St, London

Another creative display frontage! Every few days a new egg is hatched revealing a new shoe, watch or accessory. It's interesting to see the life size animal like ostrich birds and their large size eggs. Also interaction that the display can be changed every few days.

Shadow: PLAY - Corridor

A short project focusing on modelling skills and experimentation, creating a corridor for an existing space. My influences are starry night and Thai Lantern Festival.

Thai Lantern Festival (Yee-Peng)

These are initial model experiment.

The Final models experiment with light to capture shadow casting onto the wall.

And here is the final body of work from Photoshop, the corridor space designed for the Cool spa in Thailand.
