A visual feast straight out of dystopian fantasies? This prodigious sphere embodies eclecticism with a touch of ethereal maximalism. Lionel Ohayon Entertainment, translating their vision of reinventing live performances and immersive experiences in Las Vegas. Lionel reveals anecdotes and thoughts that shaped the design process.

What was the idea behind the design?

We were commissioned by Sphere Entertainment to design the interiors and lighting for Sphere and create a visitor experience unlike any other. In solving this challenge, we developed a design approach that engages one in an ethereal world and brings a sense of limitlessness as soon as one enters the building. Three main components were implemented to achieve this goal: the use of continuous curved lines, layers of indirect lighting and an all-encompassing reflective floor that removes the horizon, reinforcing the sense of limitlessness.
