The facets of success – an award show in 4 acts

The Hall of Fame of German Research pays tribute once a year to exceptional researchers and entrepreneurs, whose trail-blazing ideas have exercised an influence on the German research scene and made Germany more fit for the future as an industrial nation. In partnership with the hosts - Merck and 'manager' magazine - we were privileged for the third time to make a significant contribution to the organisation and execution of the event. The ceremonial hall of the assembly rooms of Frankfurt's Palm Gardens was chosen as a setting for the prize award. The attributes of openness, creativity, endurance, courage and trust were showcased in an impressive audiovisual presentation. 

With a dramatically appropriate sense of timing, kinetic lights on the ceiling of the hall repeatedly created new spatial structures. Having completed their individual number, the musical representatives of the various attributes came together in a concluding harmonious ensemble. As in past years we were responsible for the design of the award itself, the mottled texture of which reflected the stages on the individual creative journey of the researchers.
