Our Entrance Design

Our entranceway design captivated our visitors at our 2021 show and got their creative juices flowing. Moritz Waldemeyer – celebrated artist best known for his digital light displays and original creations – designed our entranceway at Olympia London, and injected his trademark energy into the opening installation called ‘True Love’.

Discover inspiring and immersive features at Decorex this October - registration is now open.

The Entranceway Concept

Visitors of Decorex 2021 were welcomed with a wondrous installation called ‘True Love’, which involved intricately designed butterflies that cascaded from tall columns. This feature started our visitors’ four-day visit to Olympia London. Surrounded by tropical foliage and greenery, echoing the vibes of the foliage found in Kew Gardens, walking into Decorex was a magical experience. 

The large-scale butterflies danced and swayed amongst a mesmerising light display, resembling flames. The feature took its inspiration from Persian poet, Attar of Nishapur; the poem in question talks of three butterflies and their dalliances with a candle’s flame.
