Invigning av Stockholms Centralstation, 143 år för sent

Stockholms Centralstation invigdes aldrig är den öppnades 1871. Men 143 år senare tog man upp bollen igen och i februari 2014 var det äntligen dags. Vi fick uppdraget att ta fram design och teknik för ett två dagars evenemang av vår kund Rewir på uppdrag av Stockholm stad.

Lösningen inkluderade bland annat en stor scen som var klädd i kopparliknande snickerier och print för att skapa en känsla av att kunna ha varit över 140 år gammal. Som fond bakom scenen hängde även en gigantisk gaslykta som i stället för glasrutor in till lågan hade sex stycken stående tv-skärmar som visade videoeffekter.

Efter första dagens invigningsceremoni med kronprinsessan Viktoria byggdes scenen om till en gigantisk pergola och gasklockan blev nu en centerpiece med inbyggd AR-teknik som visade animerade fåglar som landade på dig när du satt i pergolans parkbänkar. Coolt!
