Bjorkโs latest show-stopping performance โCornucopiaโ 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.
Harlequinโs involvement in the set design involved collaboration between Harlequin offices in the US and the UK.
American Harlequin provided the Harlequin Hi-Shineโข black, a glossy vinyl event floor, for the stage in The Shedโs iconic new space, The McCourt.
British Harlequin worked closely with Bjorkโs 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 โfloating mushroomsโ feature. Harlequin was given a very specific brief on the color and finish that Chiara required, which was printed onto Harlequin Reversible Proโข 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.
Harlequinโs global reach and dedicated customer service enables high quality performance flooring to be provided quickly and reliably across the world.
