roles: design, production, operator. 

For Drift Festival 2024 Cas Aerts, Luuk van der Heijden and I made the designs for the Elektra and NYMA stage; Drift’s two mainstages. For both the Elektra and Nyma stage we had to design the whole stage including decor and lighting. For the NYMA stage we got an extra assignment to design a sculpture as an eye catcher. On this page you can see the whole process of the three seperate tasks we had for Drift Festival. From inspiration to render to realisation.

for the nyma stage, with a more house-y and disco vibe, we wanted to create an intimate and colourful vibe. because the festival happesn during the day we also searched for a way to catch light and make it interesting during daylight. with the mirror installation we  created an eye-catching centerpiece, which bounced the lights directly onto the crowd. 

the rest of the stage we wrapped in an aluminium cloth. this material catches light and, because of its special properties, reflects it in an unusual  pattern.
