Event Construction at an Altitude of 2,222 Meters
An extraordinary location calls for an extraordinary execution.
For our client, EVENT MANUFAKTUR GmbH, we had the opportunity to bring a special project to life for Schindler Business Innovation: On the Männlichen in Switzerland, at an altitude of 2,222 meters, we created a temporary brand and product showcase set against an impressive Alpine backdrop.
What at first glance impresses visitors above all with its extraordinary panorama presented unique challenges behind the scenes in terms of planning, logistics, and execution. After all, conditions at this altitude differ from those at a traditional event venue. Materials, transportation, and setup had to be precisely coordinated—with the goal of ensuring the project ran smoothly even under demanding conditions.
This is precisely where the special appeal of the project lay for us: creating a reliable, high-quality solution from a challenging starting point.
The result was an installation that brought together the product, the brand, and the mountain landscape at an extraordinary location over the course of five event days. The alpine environment served not only as a backdrop but as an integral part of the overall experience.

Engelbert Strauss
C3 Expo GmbH created various trade show displays for Engelbert Strauss in the U.S. The result is a hybrid booth concept that brings the brand to life in a clear, high-quality, and international way—both indoors and outdoors.
The focus is on the retail concept: a self-contained Strauss universe that immediately immerses visitors in the world of workwear and combines products, brand, and space into a holistic experience.
The architecture specifically addresses the brand’s diverse application areas and translates them into a distinct spatial identity. Striking design, a strong visual presence, and meticulously crafted details create an unmistakable presence that clearly positions Strauss even in the international trade show environment.

Amazon Cannes
For Amazon, C3 Expo GmbH created a space at the Lions Festival in Cannes where the focus was not on the staging, but on human interaction.
Inspired by the atmosphere of Mediterranean squares, the result was a modern interpretation of the piazza—open, lively, and inviting. Small cafés, social areas, and intentionally designed quiet corners came together to form a space where people gather, conversations flow, and visitors are happy to linger a little longer.
The design thrives on this unique sense of lightness: the architecture, materials, and details create an atmosphere that blends naturally with the spirit of Cannes while simultaneously providing a distinctive setting for Amazon.
The result was a temporary gathering place with the character of a time-honored space – a piazza for encounters, conversation, and shared moments.

BASF SE Mailand Expo
The motto was: Can you see the big picture? Through the arrangement of furniture and exhibits, which in their symbiosis from a certain angle reveal a big overall picture. Each individual piece of furniture and exhibit contains a small part of the overall composition. The conceptual approach came from DING3000 and was brought to life with our cooperation in the historic old town of Milan.
