Stage Design – Scenographic Project – LED Design

MAIN STAGE

Following the selection of the Geo stage for the main structure (the standard for similar events in Portugal) we adapted it to the visual identity developed in the Brazilian editions, drawing inspiration from the Coala FSTVL 2023 concept. The design features two lateral LED towers and a large central half-moon screen, all framed by scenographic elements mimicking moss-covered rocks. The result is a composition of simple, iconic lines that harmonize technology and nature, reinforcing the festival’s well-established aesthetic.

DJ STAGE (CLUB COALA)

To bring the audience closer to the DJs, we installed a large exposed-iron gantry that utilizes the local greenery as a natural backdrop. The structure, which frames the landscape by day, features dynamic lighting with spotlights and LED tubes to transform the dancefloor at night. Complementing the design, green LED strips were installed along the elevated platforms, integrating the park’s original architecture with the stage. This creates contemplation areas that provide a respite from the immediate frenzy while maintaining a seamless connection to the dancefloor.
