THE PROJECT AS A GLOBAL TASK 10
The initial concept, the intermediate steps, and the final assembly interrelate during the whole process. Thanks to our capacity to design and produce simultaneously, we can follow the method of trial-error-trial-success. This allows us to achieve the perfect solution for each scenario we have to face.

Contents
From research to storytelling
03_Areas
We create the contents of the exhibitions with the visitor in mind at all times. We translate complex concepts to an enjoyable, understandable and fun format. We are specialists in science and culture popularization.
Architecture
We design immersive spaces in which form and content are conceived as a single entity and where visitors actively live an experience. We tend to a wide range of audiences. Ergonomy and accessibility for functional diversity is part of our designs. Our team of architects and designers researchs new materials and construction techniques for each project, until every little detail is defined, be it an exhibition, a stand, or a museum.

We create spaces that communicate

Graphic design
17
From hand-made illustrations to 3D creations, we design, print and assemble all the graphic elements of all projects alongside space design: the use of 3D representation tools allows us to develop graphic elements integrated into the original concept of each project. Far from limiting ourselves to preexisting styles, we think that the adaptation of the graphical language to the values of the project is fundamental. Guided by quality and accuracy, we work to pursue the goal of achieving a design that is surprising and coherent with the concept.
Identity in space and clarity in information

Industrial design
18
One of our distinguishing features is the capacity to develop new construction systems to create products that are able to fit any situation, be it structures or furniture. In this process, CAD CAM systems play a major role in the creation and production of designs. Our products bring together different elements, which can include audiovisuals, light, sound or interactives according to the needs of each project.
19
We adapt to every necessity
03_Areas
Multimedia audiovisuals We design and implement multimedia installations, such as video projections, videowalls, virtual reality, or interactive experiences with multiple intertwinning resources.
Ideas translated into movement
03_Areas
Our designs include integrated elements such as touch screens, robots, motors, controlled illumination systems or sensors. We search for innovative applications of the latest technologies in communication and interaction.
Technology hand in hand with creativity

We produce prototypes at each stage of the design, CAD CAM being our main production tool. We invest in high-technology machinery that allows us to produce the necessary parts of each installation at our workshops.
From prototypes to reality
03_Areas
Assembly logistics We build and assembly all the elements of the project at our production areas before shipping them to their final destination. Once finished, we carry the components with our technical team to the final space, where we assemble them and assess our clients until everything is ready. We work all over the world.

Talking Brains CosmoCaixa Barcelona, Spain
Talking Brains is a temporary exhibition of 800 m2 which explains how the brain works from the point of view of its linguistic activity. Through immersive experiences, it stresses the psychological and biological constitution of language in the brain and its links with neuroscience, genetics, anatomy or human evolution. Talking Brains is expected to itinerate through several museums in the world, at Singapore, New Zealand, or Japan among others.
34
Microcosm
CERN, European Organization for Nuclear Research Geneva, Switzerland
Microcosm is an interactive exhibition that explains the task that is being carried out at the particle labs at CERN and at their flagship collider, the Great Hadron Collider (LHC). Through 500 m2, the exhibition displays several real objects, large scale audiovisual projections, high definition photographs and 1:1 scale models to recreate actual spaces of the CERN premises.
36
+ Humans CCCB
Barcelona, Spain +Humans explores the possible trajectories for the future of the human species with technology and cultural and ethical contexts as the departing point. Conceived as a dark, monochrome tunnel, the design of the space shows an accentuated minimalism that allows to highlight the importance of the artistic works on display. The only points where darkness is broken is at the thematic intersections, where tunnels of light host the texts of the exhibition.
Showroom Orona Orona Ideo Innovation City Hernani, Spain
Showroom where cutting edge technology is used to spread and communicate the philosophy and corporate character of this brand of elevators and escalators. In the first space, the visitor can watch a videomapping that exposes the personality of Orona. In the second space, with an interactive drive, the visitor can get to know the distinguishing features of the brand thanks to the information on touch tables and screens.

Alice
CERN, European Organization for Nuclear Research Geneva, Switzerland
Alice is a particle detector at CERN. The exhibition is its main information point and is installed in a red container located directly above the experiment. Inside the container there is a real-size reproduction of the central segment of ALICE that serves as a screen for the projection of a videomapping with information on the research carried out at ALICE, on the Big Bang, and on particle collisions, among others.

Designing America Spain's imprint in the U.S.
FundaciĂłn Consejo EspaĂąa-EE.UU.
Madrid - Washington - Houston - Santa Barbara - San Antonio This exhibition explains the Spanish contribution to the construction of the territory, the landscape and the cities of the United States, from its very foundations to nowadays. A modular exhibition system made with 150 aluminum cubes generates a permeable division of the space. On the walls, maps and informative panels are displayed, distributed following a black line that traverses and structures the whole space.

Biobizz Spannabis CornellĂ , Spain
A stand that can travel and adapt to very different locations. That whas the design challenge that Indissoluble and the Clue agency faced for the Dutch brand of fertilizers Biobizz at the Spannabis fair of CornellĂ , in Barcelona. To commemorate its 25th anniversary, the firm is promoting its products itinerating through several fairs, so the exhibition space has to be easy to assemble and dissassemble, has to be easy to move , and has to be adaptable to contexts with different floor plans and surfaces.
45
Digital Ecosystems Webit Congress Istanbul, Turkey
The pixel as the generating axis of the project. That was the original idea to design the stand for Digital Ecosystems, a Greek firm specialized in digital marketing. We created a structure of 300 cube-pixels assembled to delimit a 120 m2 which make up the main pavilion of the Webit Congress at Istanbul, in Turkey.
La Rioja Tierra Abierta
Fundaciรณn Caja Rioja, Government of La Rioja Santo Domingo de la Calzada, Spain
La Rioja Tierra Abierta: Pecado, Penitencia y Perdรณn [La Rioja Open Land: Sin, Penance and Forgiveness] is a temporary exhibition located at the Cathedral of El Salvador, its cloisters and its museum spaces, in the Spanish village of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The visit starts at the area of the Original Sin, goes through several stages for atonement and ends in the area of Forgiveness. Religion and cutting edge technologies go hand in hand in this trip, where the visitor plays the leading role.

Archeorobot
Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Culturali di Roma Roman forum, Italy
The Archeorobot was designed to study in all detail the state of preservation of the Cloaca Massima, under the soil of the Roman forum. It is equipped with sensors to collect physical and environmental data. Additionally, it documents the space with pictures and videos taken with a high resolution camera. For the first time, archeologists have information on the secondary conducts, which were unreachable up to that moment.
