WELLA ITVA
Company: GLP Location: Paris, France
After missing last year’s event, lighting designer Richard Knight returned to the Wella International Trend Vision Award 2010 (ITVA), held this year at Paris’s Halle Freyssinet, to make his contribution to a dazzling spectacular. Drawing on around 80 GLP impression (impression 90 and impression 120 RZ zoom) LED moving heads, the lighting designer, who specialises in theatrical and corporate events such as this, had a mission-critical role for the fixtures in each location. Zone 2 became the location for the morning and afternoon catwalk shows and Zone 1 was used for the evening gala dinner and award presentations. These two areas were linked by a central hub, in the form of a live TV studio, where interviews took place throughout the day, as well as four trend zone exhibition spaces. Working alongside event production company, Jack Morton Worldwide’s Production Manager, Glenn Bolton, and Producers, Georgia Lavis and Charlotte Duffin, Knight was able to enhance the qualities of the environment while at the same time provid- ing a focus for the entertainment, including the introduction of the four new trends for the coming year. “The client chose this 20th Century masterpiece of industrial architecture, so we in
turn chose to allow the venue to dictate certain decisions. Martin [Sutherland, Set Designer] created a layout that minimised sightline issues caused by the supporting columns, and made best use of the available space. “We also made the decision to keep the areas we created within the venue relative- ly open, allowing me to highlight the venue’s natural ‘Industrial Grunge’ architecture and let the structure of the venue shine through. This in turn created an interesting juxtaposition between the ‘plain ugliness’ of the venue against some stunningly beautiful hair models”, said Knight. To achieve this, 24 impressions were attached to the pre-existing concrete lintels - edging the Catwalk area in Zone 2 - and a further eight 120 RZ Zooms (with 10°- 26° beam) on a FOH truss. In the TV Studio area Knight also provided an additional 12 impressions to deal with a transitional ‘dead zone’ between Zone 2 and Zone 1 - which had to be left clear for emergency vehicle access - and a further 12 GLPs in various locations, includ- ing four on a pantograph.

Mootz Club is a trendy dance and lounge club in the heart of the entertainment centre in Sneek. Each week it hosts several DJs, who play contemporary club music. A outstanding feature of the club is that it is fully lit with LED lighting by CLS. The exterior, the bars, mood lighting in the lounge area and even the toilets are lit with CLS RGB lighting products. For every application CLS has a suitable product. In addition, many LED products are multifunctional. There is approximately 110 metres of Colourcove X Bright installed into the bar area, the lampshades and the walls of the toilets of the club. The CLS Lon is used for general lighting and effect lighting and the Omit RGB is used as up and downlight in the cove to the dancefloor, and in the lounge area. A total of eight MR16 fixtures light the toilets, demonstrating that the MR16 can be used to replace existing halogen fixtures. Four Facades RGB gives the entrance of Mootz a colourful appearance.
