Philips Lighting invited us to participate in a limited competition for international fairs during 3 years running time. The concept - a modular and seemingly weightless world of lighting products. Soft to the touch, intuitive. The compositions created a stunning and visionary feel in each and every setup and render that we made. We came up 2nd or 3rd place this time.

Hermitage Amsterdam, The Amsterdam Museum and City Archive Amsterdam presented at the beginning of the new cultural season 2017-2018 a new permanent multimedia experience: Panorama Amsterdam.
 

In one of the most beautiful rooms of the Hermitage with a view on the river Amstel, the visitors are travelling through the centuries by film, animation and sound. Panorama Amsterdam tells the visitor in 8 minutes the spectacular story of the city of Amsterdam. A story of its origin, its growth and flourishing history, with the building of the Hermitage - The Amstelhof from 1683 - as its central point of view. A story about the city of Amsterdam, its inhabitants and visitors, the Artists, the Tsar, Emperors and Kings, and about a palace for the poor that became a palace for the arts. The opening was a fantastic summer event in the courtyard of the Hermitage, with hundreds of visitors and a large scale projection on the facade.
 

Totems developed this breathtaking medial journey together with 'de Nieuwe Collectie' for content and Arjan Klerkx for filmproduction.

Archeological research of the area of West-Vlaanderen has been extremely extensive over the past decade - it now enables an unprecedented detailed mapping of the war in the area.

A war that is still very visible in the landscape, even today. Drone footage shows clearly the outlines of century old bomb craters and trenches in wheat fields. The traces are only inches under the surface in the ground.
The exhibition is the first of its kind, worldwide - and is sure to impress even those who've never had a feel for the theme, through its exciting scenography – and its presentation of breathtaking maps and footage.

In close cooperation with the scientific staff of IFFM and archeological staff of Ghent University.
The exhibition opened 16 February 2018 and will run until August 2018.

Even in 2017 Bertrandt had an interesting stand on the IAA fair and Totems was responsible for the concept.
Of very much interest was the field HoloLenses.

Bertrandt uses already augmented and virtual reality in various fields of development.
This year there were introduced some operational areas, for example the hololens glasses from Microsoft. The glassses are not opaque so that the developer can see and hear each other.

Innovation for You
In Shanghai on ITMA Asia 2016 Totems was again responsible for concept and design of the stand for STOLL AG in Reutlingen, the leading producer of flat knitting machines.

It was the first time he fair took place at the new National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) Shanghai which caused new challenges. We are happy that we could manage them so excellent.

A new geometric stand architecture was a magnetic attraction for lots of interested business visitors.
The clear orchestration visualized efficiency and economy on one hand and on the other hand the faszination of a brand which brings the future of knitting to live.
