The Brief

As part of the London Design Festival in 2015, Tom Dixon created a unique event in the Old Selfridges Hotel which allowed visitors to explore departments dedicated to technology, home, fashion, beauty, jewellery, as well as a food hall. The space was hosting an eclectic range of events, installations, pop-ups and interventions. We were asked to provide all electricity infrastructure and connection points to create an ambient lighting system for the venue, as well as provide lighting for the conference stage and power to the 30 plus designer stands.

The Installation

We created the electric infrastructure (rigging, power, distribution) from scratch and ensured all 500 plus devices were powered.

The Challenges

The sheer size of the project – provide electric infrastructure and power for this 20,000 square foot, empty building, with only two main sources of electricity.
