Goldwell Global Zoom 2016

When Goldwell gathered over 3,000 hairdressers and stylists in Stockholm for its international event Global Zoom 2016, we were tasked with developing design and technical solutions for all parts of the event.

Global Zoom is a competition where hairdressers and stylists from around the world come together for a two-day event to compete for prestigious prizes in hairstyling.

At Stockholmsmässan, a large competition area was built with hairdressing stations, lounges, an exhibition and a stage for training and clinics.

At Avicii Arena, a large stage with a massive technical setup was built for the hair show and awards ceremony. The stage was placed in the centre of the floor with audience on the floor and up in the stands. At the back of the same stage, a nightclub for all 3,000 visitors was built for the after-party.
