● client: Haldern Pop Festival (with and for happen.studio)
● medium: corporate identity, spatial design, operating.
It all started as our brainchild and grew to a multidisciplinary challenge. Building a temporary structure meant using a simple and modular system. Offering food meant working truthful and transparent. We ended up with a simple rule: 1x1 m. Based on this system, we experimented with wood and calculated the perfect square for our usage. for the transparent skin we used thick, translucent foil. The flexibility of this system gives us the opportunity to build a food stand today, a popup-store tomorrow and maybe one day a temporary club. This flexibility is the base for the corporate identity.
