AXION

Imagined.   Engineered.   Executed.

25+ Years of experience.United under a new brand.

01 / Who we are

Complex creative environments need one point of control.

Studio Axion is a project management and production studio for complex creative environments.

We translate creative vision into buildable, operational results — from showsets and themed areas to production design and film sets.

By combining central project control with in-house production, we align design, technical planning, budgets, schedules, specialist partners and on-site delivery.

We don’t simply develop ideas. We make them buildable, manage their execution and ensure they are delivered as intended.

Role
Project & Design Management — Fritjof Giese, on behalf of Meyer Shipyard
Location
Wismar, Germany

A high-density themed environment combining narrative architecture, guest circulation and interactive experience within one operational showset.

Project and design management aligned creative intent with shipyard processes, technical interfaces and the demands of permanent public operation.

Integrated showset systems

Craft, media and lighting — resolved as one operational environment.

Within San Fransokyo, scenic architecture, screens, media surfaces, architectural lighting and technical access were coordinated as part of the showset itself — not added after fabrication.

  • Scenic architecture
  • Screens & media
  • Architectural lighting
  • AV & control infrastructure
