Technical and structural planning and implementation with high-performance projectors on the Hotel Sonne roof and the "Adlermätteli" parking lot.
OKULA realized one of Switzerland’s most ambitious projections: The 120-meter-wide facade of Einsiedeln Monastery was animated with moving 3D images and synchronized music. Thanks to high-performance projectors, a sharp and bright image was achieved even at a distance of 200 meters—a technical masterpiece that required highly precise planning.
Over 60,000 visitors experienced the event, which was enriched by a supporting program featuring food stands and spiritual offerings led by the monastery monks. The combination of art, technology, and tradition gave Einsiedeln Monastery international prominence.
„Die präzise Einstellung der Projektoren war Millimeterarbeit – das Ergebnis hat alle Erwartungen übertroffen.“ – Lukas Schumacher, Einsiedler Anzeige
„Dieses Event zeigt, wie Licht Kunst und Gemeinschaft verbindet.“ – Hanspeter James Kälin, Welttheatergesellschaft Einsiedeln

OKULA was responsible for the technical planning and scenography, constructed the stage and labyrinth, and created the hologram projection. During the event, the team ensured smooth operations.
LIFE was a unique art event organized by PostFinance and Yuh. Together, they invited 100 selected guests to discover their own personal paths—and afterwards to enjoy an exclusive live concert by Nemo.
The entire planning and execution were in the hands of OKULA to create an unforgettable experience for the guests. From scenography and decoration to technology, every object and installation was meticulously developed and perfectly realized. The highlight of the evening was a spectacular stage featuring an innovative projection onto NEMO’s dress, which wowed the audience. A specially designed labyrinth led visitors on a journey symbolizing the path of life, offering many decision points and transporting them into a new world—making the way to the concert an experience in itself.
The conclusion: a perfect symbiosis of art, music, and technology. Clever lighting techniques and creative staging created an immersive atmosphere that completely captivated the audience.
Throughout the entire evening, the OKULA team was on site to ensure everything ran smoothly—for an event that will be remembered.
OKULA developed the technical plans and the scenography, and successfully implemented both. The centerpiece of the event was a spectacular stage featuring an innovative hologram projection.
Technical and structural planning and implementation of the product presentation, on-site support for the presentation, realization of photo studio and cover for reception desk at headquarters
IWC Schaffhausen is a leading Swiss luxury watch manufacturer based in Schaffhausen. In February 2024, the long-established company presented its latest models to an international audience as well as selected media and photographers in the MAAG Lichthalle.
Okula was able to accompany this exclusive product presentation on site and was responsible for the projection technology and video mapping. We also produced several exhibition pedestals for the luxury watches, which used an interchangeable background to showcase the products in the best possible light.
We were also able to set up a photo studio, including lighting, at the IWC headquarters and produce a new, feather-light cover for the reception desk in the manufacturing center in Schaffhausen.
