Simona

K 2010

Category: Exhibitions
Year: 2010
Location: Düsseldorf, Germany

SIMONA is a manufacturer of thermoplastic products.

The K 2010 stand design was based on ‘SIMONA City’, a fictive and communicative city of the company. The ultimate SIMONA City was made out of the brand itself so we built a stand architecture with the brand name letters.

SIMONA City was like a real life brochure with all the current news ‘printed’ onto the letters. The visitors could stroll around and discover SIMONA City out of their perspective. Along the way they found different topics and zones where they could dive in. An augmented reality area showed in a very clear and easy way the fields and uses of SIMONA products. A huge chandelier made out of SIMONA material was at the center of the booth. This patterned element let the booth glow from inside, it created an atmospheric light and an ornamental shade.

Hager

Light & Building 2010

Category: International Fairs
Year: 2010
Location: Frankfurt, Germany

Rough times - Smart Solutions
The stand’s architecture is two-dimensional, multi-layered and transparent. The exterior is white, the interior dark, so that the products contrast with each other. Visitors gain their sense of orientation overhead: the information cubes illuminate the exhibits. Initially a majority of the exhibits were white, creating a calm and modern atmosphere. Customer orientation was achieved with the open presentation of the solution islands. The graphic art on back wall on the ground floor provided a humorous solution to typical spatial situations - from the living room to the basement in the industrial area – thereby covering the entire application range of Hager products.

The interior of the pavilion referred to the architectural heritage of Algeria’s cities: the casbah. Visitors roamed through its streets, experiencing the Algeria of today through multimedia exhibits. 
The paths led visitors up to the roof level of this city from where they could look out over the casbah. From here, Algeria unfolded in front of the visitor through a spectacular multimedia installation, projected onto the roofs of the casbah. After this, visitors were led into a final space where the architecture assumed the shape of the Algeria to come, in which various exhibits told the story about the country’s future.

Cyprus Pavilion

Category:
Year: 2010
Location: Shanghai, China

The concept of the Cyprus pavilion at the World Expo 2010 Shanghai is based on the House of Aphrodite. Following Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the Goddess of love and beauty. She was born in the waves off the coast of Cyprus. Totems played with this metaphor and designed the pavilion as Aphrodite's house, built on a Cyprus hill, with a terrific view over a horizon pool. The pavilion tells the story about Cyprus, about the past, present and future.

 
 

SAP

CeBIT 2010

Category: International Fairs
Year: 2010
Location: Hanover, Germany

Experience SAP
Seven typical scenarios demonstrate the daily use of SAP software. Like a chalked sketch, a simple diagram on the floor connects daily situations. Realistic scenes are presented in stations – one works, lives, eats, shops, moves about, dances or is protected. The daily implementation of SAP software becomes obvious to the visitor; the company’s performance becomes transparent and can be experienced firsthand. Visitor surveys confirm the successful realization of the new concept with our message reaching eighty-three percent of stand visitors asked.
