Funktion Forms is a cutting edge visual design company that focuses on providing any kind of event with a completely original and highly creative atmosphere for the attending guests, artists, and industry. Through several different mediums our team of artists create multiple environments that will leave your audience speechless. Advanced lighting techniques in combination with various theatrical textiles result in a look that is innovative, functional, and completely unique. Our vision is to replace the standard, more traditional forms of event design and give people something that becomes just as important as the performance itself, so that the look and vibe of your event is that of total stimulation and creativity.

Our team offers a “Total Overall Design”. Working together with the event producers we aim to create an overall look for your festival or event that holds the same feel throughout the whole area or areas. Often events have more than one stage or performance area therefore we feel it necessary that all areas complement one another and work together artistically. We like to create environments that are breathtaking in size and color, day or night.

INDOOR

CORPORATE

Most of today’s stage design focuses on one element when it comes to creating a stage that is both impressive and functional for its performers. This usually means spending large amounts of the event budget on today’s most advanced lighting systems. We think a bit differently. While we agree with the importance of implementing some cutting edge lighting systems we also see there is a need to combine other elements to the design. By combining these elements in a way that complements each other we have learned to create stages that have much more “personality”. These other elements include 100% hand painted backdrops (custom if desired), various theatrical textiles, visual projections, etc. By including these elements we create different platforms for the lighting designers to work their magic. In addition, a properly lit stage looks great during the evening hours however during the daytime you are often left with a standard, somewhat plain looking aluminum stage. Our design eliminates the boring daytime look. Instead you have one that is still full of life, color, and creativity.

UV Art & Design

We also offer a full array of ultraviolet backdrops ranging from small sizes to the largest of sizes to fit every area or areas of your event or festival Our international team of backdrop artists offer a broad mix of content in their artwork. From the most psychedelic of nature to the more “usable in every occasion” style of art our team has something for your event. With over 1000 of 100% hand painted UV paintings no event is too large. Custom backdrop designs are also available and can be made to order giving your event the most unique feel possible.

Having been in the visual business for over nine years now we’ve produced quite a few events ourselves. From smaller, more intimate events to larger, open-air festival events, our team has grown to become a powerful design force.

Being in the industry as long as we have means working with numerous other production teams which has helped us create quite an impressive network of industry related people, most of whom we now call friends. From sound companies to stage and lighting companies to musicians, top notch DJ’s and performers from around the globe. We have a network that proves beneficial for all productions and events both big and small.
