Special-format LED
Light that takes form.
Curved facades, spheres, ceilings and landmarks. Designed, engineered, installed and kept running by one team.
Corner building, New York
What we do
Not every screen is flat.
For the surfaces a standard screen can't serve. A sphere in an atrium. A ribbon over a terminal. A gateway on a desert highway. Each one needs curved modules, a structure drawn for its site and content mapped to its real geometry. That is the work we take on.
Three fields
Forms, spaces, landmarks.
-
Forms
Sculptural LED objects for lobbies, atria and terminals: spheres, droplets, ribbons and columns.
See forms -
Spaces
Tunnels, ceilings, floors and glass that people walk through, under and across.
See spaces -
Landmarks
Outdoor forms at the scale of a street corner, a plaza or a highway.

Selected work
Across the United States.
A Chicago atrium, an airport terminal in the Pacific Northwest, a desert highway in the Southwest.

Process
Five steps, one team.
- 01
Concept
Site study, sightlines and form options.
- 02
Previs
Photographic stills and film of the form in place.
- 03
Engineering
Structure, module layout, power, heat and service access.
- 04
Install
Fabrication, assembly on site and calibration.
- 05
Content
Launch content and a program that runs all year.
Engineering
The image is the easy part.
What makes a curved surface work sits behind it: module layout, steel, power, heat and access for service. We draw those alongside the visuals, so the form that opens is the form in the previs.
Curved-surface mapping
Content mapped to measured geometry, module by module.
Custom structure
Steel frames, ribs and suspension points drawn for each site.
On-site calibration
Brightness and color matched until the surface reads as one image.
Remote monitoring
Temperature, power and signal watched after opening.
