Harlequin’s Global Collaboration Helps Make Bjork’s Cornucopia a Huge Success

Bjorkโ€™s latest show-stopping performance โ€˜Cornucopiaโ€™ which premiered at The Shed, New York City, has been described as her most ambitious and elaborate concert yet. Bjรถrk worked with a team of digital and theatrical collaborators to present live musical arrangements, digital technology, and stunning visuals.

Extravagant and abstract, the Icelandic singer-songwriter did not disappoint on set design.  The overarching theme for Cornucopia is nature, with much of the imagery inspired by flowers and fauna, and the incredible performance incorporated a message about climate change.

Harlequinโ€™s involvement in the set design involved collaboration between Harlequin offices in the US and the UK.

American Harlequin provided the Harlequin Hi-Shineโ„ข black, a glossy vinyl event floor, for the stage in The Shedโ€™s iconic new space, The McCourt.

British Harlequin worked closely with Bjorkโ€™s production team; Scott Fleary Productions Ltd, stage designer Richard Nutbourne and set designer Chiara Stephenson from Clockwork Studio, to produce a bespoke, glossy, teal vinyl event floor for the โ€œfloating mushroomsโ€ feature.  Harlequin was given a very specific brief on the color and finish that Chiara required, which was printed onto Harlequin Reversible Proโ„ข vinyl performance flooring and given a laminated gloss finish.  The result was a fabulous glossy teal floor which was used for rehearsals in the UK before being shipped to New York for the eight-concert engagement.

Harlequinโ€™s global reach and dedicated customer service enables high quality performance flooring to be provided quickly and reliably across the world.
