Why ceiling height matters at a show
Show lighting is rigged above the runway, not beside it. In a room of ordinary height that means floor-standing structures, which take space from the audience and appear in the photographers pictures. At twenty metres the whole rig goes up.
The absence of pillars in the Patio means the runway can be laid anywhere in the hall - centrally, along one wall, or in a T configuration. That is a design decision rather than a compromise forced by the building.
What can be built
- Runway in straight, T or U configuration, at the length you need
- Lighting and decorative installations rigged above the runway
- Audience seating along the runway
- Photographers position at the end of the runway
- Backstage with dressing rooms and space for stylists
- Reception area on the mezzanine for arrivals and the after-show
A show as a corporate event
A fashion show is rarely a standalone event. More often it forms part of something larger: a collection launch, an industry gala or a brand presentation. We therefore plan the hall so that guests can move to the reception part immediately after the show, without changing rooms.

Frequently asked questions
How long a runway can be built?
The hall is 500 m² with no pillars, so the runway length follows from your show design rather than from the building. We settle the layout together with your set designer during planning.
Is there a backstage for models and stylists?
Yes, we prepare a backstage with dressing rooms and working space for the crew. The scope depends on the scale of the show - a single collection has different requirements from a multi-designer event.
Can we rig our own lighting?
Yes. The 20-metre height allows suspended installations, which is essential for a fashion show, where lighting sits above the runway. We agree the rigging method in advance with your technical crew.
