Germany - This summer, DJ Sven Väth has opened a new dance venue, CocoonClub, in Frankfurt, creating an international meeting point for the music avant-garde, with an impressive interior design, and high-end sound, video and lighting systems throughout.Located in Frankfurt's Ostend district, the club has a total area of 2.664sq.m. Design agency 3deluxe created four zones, differing in atmosphere and function. The main floor, with its moving light installation, is the heart of the club: this is surrounded with a 'stroll' area from all sides and has an integrated lounge - the so called 'InBetween' - which connects the club with two restaurants - 'Micro' and 'Silk'.

A striking feature of the Club's interior design is a 100m long white membrane wall enclosing the main floor. Here some comfortable Cocoons - soft padded seats - offer some temporary relaxation. The structure of the membrane is livened up with the help of computer-animated projections: in total, 23 projectors are used in the club. Much of 3deluxe's design inspiration came from biological models. These are reflected in both the three-dimensional structuring and the variety of forms in the interior.

Teamtech Media Technology based in Frankfurt, and Lightpower of Paderborn, were responsible for the complete lighting equipment supply for the club. MA Lighting's control desks (grandMA full-size and grandMA micro) look after the lighting systems. Because of their operational features and open structure, these consoles are highly suitable for the club and discotheque market, say Lightpower.

Lighting fixtures include 45 Clay Paky Mini Scan HP3s, while a further 10 white versions, without mirror, were included in the Micro, with 15 projectors, fitted with glass gobos specially created in conjunction with Rosco.
