Stars Venue
Spacial Scenography x Orbital Art
A circular bench and small high-grade steel tables invite the visitor to relax in the lounge area. The walls and ceiling, bar and shelves are painted white and appear to visually melt together. Silver metal wall lights can be dimmed, turning the room’s atmosphere from cool to warm.
The hall shifts to smoky charcoal-colored walls, ceilings and floor. The room’s furnishing elements create a contrast, and their unified white colors emphasize their transformation into sculptural bodies designed with rounded-off edges. On the dance floor, the colors change again through the use of orange lights.
An immersive, oversized ring sculpture floats effortlessly within the club space, redefining the boundaries between architecture, light, and motion. Spanning a monumental 14 meters in diameter, this avant-garde installation is meticulously crafted from thousands of tensioned white threads, creating a diaphanous yet powerful structural volume. Suspended from the ceiling, the sculpture acts as a kinetic centerpiece for the room.
Concealed at its core, a circular lighting truss serves as the technological engine for site-specific artistic light installations. Far from being mere illumination, the system projects dynamic, changing graphic imagery that reflects across the floor and walls, seamlessly merging the physical structure with digital art. Through this intricate interplay of material boundaries and projected light, the installation morphs into an evocative piece of architectural scenography, transforming the entire spatial experience.
Dominating the 14-meter rear wall, a monumental, concavely recessed niche with a 3.8-meter diameter acts as a hypnotic visual anchor. Within this structural curvature, four digitally rendered, artistically animated planets rotate in slow motion around their own axes. As their paths gently intersect in a seamless choreography, they create an extraordinary illusion of depth. Upon entering the main club hall, guests are drawn toward this celestial depth, immediately detaching from reality and entering an ethereal, otherworldly sphere tailored specifically for the Stars Club experience.
Enhancing this cosmic atmosphere, high, cylindrical light fixtures are suspended from the ceiling, projecting intricate light effects across the walls and ceilings of the mezzanine. Accessible via three structural steps, this elevated gallery hosts the largest of the club’s three sculptural bars. Every structural element and detail of the venue was individually developed by studioacht, ensuring a seamless continuity in both materiality and form.
Positioned perfectly within the main space, the DJ desk offers performing artists a commanding view of both the audience and the entire architectural scenography. From this central cockpit, DJs can interactively synchronize every planet's movement and every light installation to the rhythm of the night—shifting the color palettes and visual architecture into a multisensory performance.
