What do you do when you are facing a blank canvas? Take inspiration from experts such as Event Concept. They had to deal with a huge blank space at Battersea Evolution when L’Oréal Professionnel asked them for help with its annual Colour Trophy Grand Final. To make use of this exceptional space, Event Concept created a circular catwalk where models could walk amongst the audience amidst hanging rainbow-coloured LED tubes. This was set against a dramatic backdrop of two LED walls delivering digital content throughout the show.
