Angus Muir Design was approached by Smales Farm, a commercial precinct on Auckland's North Shore, to design a festive lighting experience for the Christmas season.

MATARIKI CELEBRATIONS 2016 + 2017

Angus Muir Design (formerly Out of the Dark) was engaged by Fresh Concept to develop, design and produce the Christmas decorations on Queen St, Auckland’s main street. The decorations were treated as one entire installation spanning one kilometre. They not only have an effective presence by day but also by night. The pentagon shaped modular decorations were like no other Christmas decoration concept New Zealand had ever seen and were greatly received by the public of Auckland.

There were many challenges dealing with such a busy public space,  being exposed to severe elements meant the design had to also be extremely robust. Over two thousand pentagons were fabricated using over twelve hundred LED units to illuminate the pentagons.

Angus Muir Design created its own system to have full wireless access to the lights, enabling them to be programmed or manipulated remotely. This project pushed many boundaries in technology as well as design and fabrication.
