The Hakkasan Grid
January 10, 2022
The Hakkasan Grid is an awe-inspiring pièce de résistance that enhances the venue’s design and transforms the show experience for audiences like never before. An architectural feat, the Hakkasan Grid is the largest permanent kinetic light installation in the United States, made of 57, 4-foot seamless and sculptural triangles that combine to form a 30-foot showpiece. Connected via 169 high-precision winches, the centerpiece can transform with the nightclub’s musical landscape into infinite shapes and colors above the dance floor. Each triangle was custom-designed and 3D-printed with premium materials from the brand KINETIC LIGHTS located in Berlin, Germany and features pixel-mapping and color-mixing technologies, making the grid the only structure of its kind that allows fully-customized images and patterns to flow seamlessly across all of the triangles both individually and collectively.
The Hakkasan Grid evidences yet another way Tao Group Hospitality has incorporated state-of-the-art technology and dramatic design elements to push the boundaries of the nightlife industry. In 2015, the company unveiled a kinetic chandelier in Omnia Nightclub that raised the bar for nightclub design.
