At the heart of designing the stunning lighting and visuals associated with the One Third identity is creative director Daan Oomen and his team from Netherlands-based Live Legends. They specified nearly 350 Robe moving lights to ensure One Third Hangzhou stands out in a competitive marketplace!
The One Third vibe is all about the story of an old locomotive factory that comes to life. Live Legends delivered all creative elements from concept to execution, including show production, interior and technical design.
With the One Third identity built on quality and reflecting a ‘gold standard’ in clubbing, Live Legends was asked onboard, to bring their extensive skills, knowledge and visions from the world of live events. Having a ‘named’ European manufacturer associated with the main lighting fixtures is essential to the One Third brand architecture.
The Robe count is 346 in total, made up of 210 x Spikies, 130 x VIVA CMYs and six T1 Profiles.
The T1s are used for specials on the DJs and live acts appearing onstage, selected for their adaptability, good shuttering and excellent zoom.
The 210 Spikies make up one side of a hi-impact triangular-shaped rotating wall, which has LED panels mirrored on the reverse and can be flipped back and forth as the evening gets going.
The VIVAs are dotted around in the whole room, most on tracking beams. A U-shaped structural automation system in the main room transforms it into a train wagon-like space as the atmosphere ramps and the evening unfolds, carrying people into a great adventure. VIVAs are used for gobos and beam effects – those big all-embracing looks that can air-lift a room of people into another stratosphere. “We actually wanted to step away from the beamier club looks and the VIVAs give plenty of options on that,” explained Daan.
