Rotor Group

The work of Belgium’s Rotor Group is popping up in more and more visible places. Rotor covers a wider range of projects, from basic design, branding and packaging, to events, lighting planning, interiors, showrooms, products, trade shows and art. We especially like the work they have done with Belgian lighting firm Modular Lighting Instruments creating events, showrooms and surroundings that defy definition. A great example is Rotor Designer Toon Stockman’s retro-futuristics showroom for Modular that pays homage to Modular’s Beam Squad and consists of six enormous cages supported by a skeleton of fluorescent tubing. The wild narrative for this installation – a typical Rotor tale- tells of life-destroying peril but luckily, all will be well and in about 2069, lighting will be manufactured in peace again.
