FUNKE Mediengruppe
Transforming Funke Mediengruppe's Headquarters with Expromo LED Displays
For the new headquarters of Funke Mediengruppe in downtown Essen, Expromo Europe delivered an impressive Media Facade LED display. The iconic MEDIA Tower, a round building, is topped with a state-of-the-art transparent LED screen composed of LED stripe elements. Designed with a 15-degree tilt, the screen ensures light is directed where it should be, minimizing impact on the surrounding urban environment.
The special transparent design creates a unique visual effect that must be seen to be appreciated. Complementing the transparency, a trumpet-shaped canvas design is illuminated by a series of EXPROMO DMX Flood lights. Throughout the project, Funke Mediengruppe and Expromo worked closely to achieve maximum visual impact on this exciting and challenging task.
Additionally, Funke Mediengruppe’s strong presence in the German media market aligns perfectly with Expromo’s creative product range. To create an eye-catching feature for visitors, we developed a special LED module integrated into the stair edge. A special polycarbonate plate was used to protect the LED lights, allowing for unimpeded foot traffic. The staircase is further enhanced with EXPROMO LED lights on the backside, completing the visual experience.
