Expressen Party Leaders' Debate 2022

Ahead of the 2022 Swedish election, we were commissioned by Bonnier News to develop and deliver a design and complete technical solution for Expressen's Party Leaders' Debate – broadcast live from Strawberry Fields at Quality Hotel™ Strawberry Arena.

The technical solution consisted of TV lighting for the entire studio, an audio solution for live broadcast and a camera production with crane.

The set design was built around circular forms. Party leaders stood at individual podiums arranged in a semicircle around the debate moderators Viktor Barth-Kron and Helena Gissén. Behind the party leaders, a wall was constructed from alternating backlit white-lacquered wooden panels and LED screens displaying digital graphics for each party. A large floor vinyl wrap across the entire studio floor tied the design together.
