Gerriets provides the ceiling element at the Frankfurt International Auto Show
Germany - In March 2009, Gerriets was chosen by the exhibition company Ambrosius Frankfurt to provide the ceiling element for the International Auto Show (17-21 September, 2009). The ceiling element was installed and changed the trade show hall's atmosphere through its eye catching organic shape.

Gerriets used more than 7,500sq.m of a semi-transparent PVC coated mesh textile for the project. Depending on the lighting direction the curved element appears transparent or opaque. Projections and laser images create additional special effects.

The ceiling element is is fastened at the hall ceiling and the hall columns. In the middle of the exhibition hall, the ceiling element forms a huge tube with a 10m diameter going up to the ceiling. A second downward tube at the side stops three metres over the floor.
