The Brief - Sky Sponsored VIP Lounge Lighting

Our client's brief was to provide permanent lighting in the Sky sponsored backstage VIP lounge. They needed to reinvigorate the space and create an engaging experience for guests. The moment guests entered the space they would engage with the ambience created by the light and the brand. Whilst wowing guests on entering the VIP lounge, they would be continually enthralled by the space until showtime.

A Multimedia Lighting Challenge

We wanted the VIP space to feel unique, chic, a warm inviting place to be, that would be exciting and create a buzz. And we were mindful that because it''s a Sky sponsored lounge, it must be media friendly too. So all lighting had to look great to both the naked eye and on video or camera, for social media photos of guests.

Coupled with these challenges, the equipment and control had to be compatible with a Cue system touch panel control and Mode Lighting show control system.

Our Lighting Solution

With the brief in mind and the technical challenges, we got to work and got creative. The thought that underpinned the whole project was to create an environment for the 'Perfect Selfie'.

Thinking about the space as the perfect VIP location for a professional photo-shoot inspired us to create key lighting as well as bold and innovative lighting design. We resolved to ensure each space stood out, had its own personality and would inspire guests, enticing them to engage with the space. We ensured each area looked stunning both to the eye and on camera and blended with the brand and the larger space.

Before and After

Previously the bar had been boldly lit in contrasting colours with unattractive movements. Other areas of activation were minimalistically lit, so guest would frequently overlook the space.

We employed a creative a design that achieved the brief's objectives and by using LED light sources, achieved energy savings too. We reduced maintenance and managed heat levels lower in the space which previously became uncomfortably hot when busy. The install was completed in time for big name acts completing tours following the festival season.
