LEAP 2025: Into New Worlds | Main Stage in Riyadh, KSA, light cycles and flashing beams leap into the future horizon at warp speed velocity.
The world’s most attended tech event, Informa’s LEAP: Into New Worlds, returned for its fourth edition in February 2025 in Riyadh, KSA. Exploring the idea of rapid technological acceleration, Stufish envisioned Horizon for the LEAP Main Stage; a bright blast of expansive invention bound to an infinite horizon line.
The stage is inspired by the advancements of technology, becoming a dynamic space where light evokes the feeling of reaching into tomorrow. At its core, an overlapped ceiling of lightboxes and LED screens creates an immersive, ever-shifting canopy, enveloping the audience in a digital horizon.
The layered interaction of screens and light amplifies depth and movement, inducing a futuristic aesthetic. Below, a curved screen in the center expands outwards, blending with lightboxes to the sides of the room to extend immersion. The interplay of these elements crafts a stage that feels alive and forward reaching.
A cluster of light immerses the audience in a color-blending atmosphere, combining a swarm of RGB light and LED screens to provide incredible scenic flexibility. 78 wall lightboxes, and 233 ceiling lightboxes, each with 100mm depth, 500mm height, and varying length, illuminate the space with fully DMX addressed light hues. 44 ceiling LED channels further accentuate the custom light environment. While 30 ceiling LED screens spread content out and a thin continuous screen, stretching 88m, wraps the room in a futuristic horizon.
The space revolves around a 30m x 4.5m curved widescreen, standing as the centerpiece of the stage. The screen extends to the sides, gradually dissolving into the room and blending with the light. A 1m-high stage platform serves as the platform for ideas, hiding accessibility ramps behind 1m high walls, merging aesthetics with functionality.
