Opening
Openings are something we enjoy doing and do often. An opening is often associated with pomp and ceremony and is usually seen as a solemn occasion. We have produced hundreds of small and large openings of all kinds – openings of new office premises, shopping centres, groundbreaking ceremonies and even a central station in Sweden's capital, even though the opening itself was 100 years late.No matter what you are opening, we have the experience and solutions to make it a success. We supply sound systems for speeches and artists, lighting of stages and environments, façade projections, red carpets and much more.

Frequently asked questions about openings and inaugurations
Can you deliver a façade projection for the opening?
Yes. Our video department delivers projectors and technical equipment for façade projection – a dramatic addition that elevates the opening moment and gives a building's façade a spectacular visual impact. We produce the content in collaboration with our graphics department and adapt it to the specific surface and proportions of the façade.
Can you deliver a red carpet and fabric draping for the opening?
Yes. Our décor department delivers red carpets in any length and width, fabric draping on curtain tracks that can be pulled aside or released with a magnetic drop on cue, and other decorative elements that frame the opening moment. We have extensive experience of choreographing the dramatic sequence around an opening ceremony.
Can you deliver sound for speeches and artist entertainment during the opening?
Yes. Our sound department delivers PA systems and microphone solutions adapted to the opening's format – from a discreet setup for a press briefing to a full system for an outdoor ceremony. We have DJ equipment and all the technology needed for artist performances and live entertainment.
Can you film and broadcast the opening live?
Yes. Our video department delivers camera productions that film and live-broadcast the opening – to large screens on site, to digital participants via streaming, or both. Our content and graphics department produces graphics, jingles and intros for the broadcast.
Can you light a new office or building for the opening?
Yes. Our lighting department delivers lighting for all types of openings – from an illuminated podium for a ceremonial speech to ambient lighting across an entire floor or façade. We select fixtures and colour temperature in dialogue with you and adapt the lighting to the venue and the atmosphere you want to create.
Can you deliver branding and print for the opening?
Yes. Our print department delivers full vinyl wraps for walls, floors, ceilings and windows, cut-out foil logos for lecterns and stages, printed carpets, printed banners and directional signage. We are experienced in producing print at large scale and know which materials and techniques deliver the best results in different environments.
Can you show a 3D rendering of the opening set design before we sign off?
Yes. Our visualisation department produces to-scale drawings and photorealistic 3D renderings of the set design and venue before production starts. We deliver what we draw – our 3D renderings are a reliable representation of the end result, not just inspiration.
What types of openings have you produced before?
We have produced hundreds of openings of all kinds – office premises, shopping centres, hotels, exhibition halls, sports venues, bridges and most notably the opening of Stockholm Central Station. Whatever you are opening, we very likely have experience from similar assignments and know the specific requirements and challenges relevant to your type of opening.
