Given the festival\u2019s history Showcase was tasked to design, build and fulfil three entire areas, of which two\u00a0were for the event\u2019s legacy sponsors. The brief for the Speakers Lounge was that it needed to be high end, to have\u00a0multiple seating areas, quiet spaces, kitchen areas and a studio. The two legacy sponsors\u2019 spaces were won\u00a0following a tender, Showcase was asked to create indoor\/outdoor designs that captured the sponsors\u2019 brands. For\u00a0Whalar, they had to design a space with outdoor content areas and shading due to the heat. NBCUniversal was a\u00a0tight brief that had to be turned around with one week, Showcase had to design and create a specification that\u00a0catered for their multiple channels on the companies TV network.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”nectarslider_style” images=”17257,17258,17259,17260,17261,17262,17263,17264,17265,17266,17267,17268,17269″ image_loading=”lazy-load” flexible_slider_height=”true” hide_arrow_navigation=”true” bullet_navigation=”true” bullet_navigation_style=”see_through” onclick=”link_no” img_size=”800×400″ el_class=”post_gall”][vc_column_text el_class=”show_post_content feedback” css=”.vc_custom_1657814223149{padding-bottom: 5% !important;}”]\n
Speakers Lounge Whalar House<\/strong> The outside space saw a split-level, decked, design terrace which incorporated a full truss system with dual zone PA systems for both spaces, as well as lighting and LED screen for the content stage area on upper terrace.<\/p>\n To accentuate Whalar\u2019s new brand, multiple recycled fabric banners were installed and a roof system created shade for the spaces, in addition to eight 3mx3m professional grade parasols, providing shade for all areas. Again locally sourced tropical planting and furniture from Showcase\u2019s new outdoor range was used.<\/p>\n NBCU A spectacular bespoke fairground lighting installation to the front of the cabana was installed, the outdoor terrace within the decked area contained a fully sustainable natural wood planter with tropical planting.<\/p>\n The high-end furniture was from the new Showcase collection was selected to compliment the client\u2019s brand and their overall vision for the various spaces.<\/p>\n The event build was four days, followed by a five-day show and 12 hour dismantle. It involved a team of 25 with dedicated project management for each area, plus a furniture installation team to cover all sites of the festival that Showcase was creating. Four trucks of equipment, manufactured products and furniture were shipped from the UK &\u00a0\u00a0Italy for the event. The design team was on hand from conceptual stage, pre-production and then on site to ensure the look, feel and creativity was executed exactly as planned due to the nature of event and clients\u2019 requirements.<\/p>\n Given the festival\u2019s history Showcase was tasked to design, build and fulfil three entire areas, of which two were for the event\u2019s legacy sponsors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17257,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,22],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
\n<\/strong>Showcase used natural timbers and fabric wrap walls with high-end boutique furniture (all from Showcase\u2019s own collection) within the design and locally sourced tropical plants. The addition of the furniture was an important factor in creating an atmosphere that was on brand with the aspirational location in Cannes. Multiple screens were erected throughout the space, a dedicated Project Manager and separate cameraman was responsible for content checks and management of all spaces.<\/p>\n
\nFor the indoor area, branded Whalar House,\u00a0\u00a0Showcase created two spaces within the tents of a 10x5m space giving the client a kitchen\/serving area and lounge space, all fully air-conditioned. Again Showcase\u2019s high-end boutique furniture was installed inside. Showcase took time handpicking the most appropriate pieces from their new collection, as experience has taught them that not all furniture works in the open air.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Showcase created the entire design within a 20m x 10m tent, which was turned into multi-functional spaces including the replicated set of Andy`s Club House seen on NBCUniversal’s channel; the Top Chef themed area doubled up as a private boardroom area. A \u201dDesperate Housewives\u201d themed tech closet saw a fully functional walk-in wardrobe design and a new 75″ touchscreen mirror to highlight the look and feel of the space, it also displayed new content on screen for the client.<\/p>\nDelivery:<\/h3>\n

Feedback<\/h3>\n
\u201cEverything supplied was accurately costed and with additional out of budget items completely transparent. Production schedules, 3D renders and anything else was delivered in a timely and professional manner to an impeccable standard. Our clients were so pleased and that is the ultimate goal for us. With two slightly difficult to please legacy clients, it was so important these went well and I cant stress enough how great they turned out.\u201d<\/em><\/h4>\n
