2014 | Mercedes-Benz – The New Vito
World premiere for 400 guests of the international trade press.
The “Kraftwerk” in Berlin was the bare brickwork backdrop.
The various elements of the venue, the former heating plant “Mitte” - part of Berlin’s industrial heritage.
Here Vito’s claim “The Vito comes when the bare brickwork is done.” Could be perfectly interpreted.
Industrial materials like wooden pallets, portable floodlights, mobile scaffold and mesh fabric presented the consistent style idea across all levels of the event and in the workshop areas. Stylized tools or goods in transit formed a special typography, suitable for the respective core benefit of the models. The staging area with a rustic seat grandstand, moving screens, which were part of the scenery by medial performance was the presentation area for the world premiere.
The first official appearance of the Vito consisted of a nuanced choreography with 10 vehicles and dramaturgically moving scenes from what the Vito encounters every day. At the wheel: craftsmen, taxi drivers, beverage distributors, garden landscape farmer & co. Goods and actors were on- and offloaded and transported dynamically in the Vito through the scenery.

This graduated the successful staging of the Vito in the middle of the shell construction, and led the guests back to their own world of business.

Franz Beckenbauer, Boris Becker, Jogi Löw, Edwin Moses and Niki Lauda also accepted the invitation to the anniversary of the automobile.
2011 | Mercedes-Benz – World Premiere New Actros
The main thought of this dramaturgy: Whatever society required in the realms of transportation – it was always the truck, which shouldered the task.
The reveal began gently – softly the first truck of the world by Gottlieb Daimler chugged across the stage – and increased in speed quickly: all historically relevant generations of heavy trucks by Mercedes-Benz of the last 115 years ensued.
Large-scale video mappings on the freight containers interacting with the driving trucks visually supported the choreography of vehicles. Shown were picture and type projections from the past decades of truck transport.
Scene by scene it became clearer how Mercedes-Benz trucks performed aptly for every task asked of it by politics and society – and which convincing answers the new Actros has for the present demands.
