Built to the Curve

Pavilion & Event

1Gate In

0Straight Walls

100%In-House

For A. Lange & Söhne, we brought a pavilion to life inside a 19th-century granite fortress: one gate in, no straight walls, and a house known for precision to present.

The Challenge

One gate in. No straight walls.

One of the most demanding venues our team has worked in. Every wall, graphic and fixture had to fit through a single arched gate and be assembled by hand on site. No two brick vaults share the same curve. The structure is historic, so everything had to stand on its own, and building-scale banners had to be rigged at height across the façade.

Our Solution

Every wall cut to its own arch

Freestanding walls, each measured and cut to the curve of its own vault. Large-format graphics presenting chronograph movements, milestones and imagery at gallery scale. Exterior signage across the arched façade, entrance graphics at the gate and building-scale banners rigged by lift.

The Result

Precision, presented with precision

A house known for precision, presented with precision, in one of the most characterful venues it has ever occupied. Every piece was designed, fabricated and installed by our own team.
