A new role within the industry, a new concept, and a fresh look: CE was set to reinvent itself from the ground up, establishing itself as a driving force for the future market of composite materials. As a development partner to Reed Exhibitions, one of the world’s largest trade fair organizers, Bruce B. played a leading role in analysis, strategy development, corporate design development, and event conception.

The corporate design and corporate architecture drew inspiration from the material’s distinctive characteristics—the specific layering and orientation of non-crimp fabrics. This gave rise to the logo and defined the distinctive visual form of all design elements.

Transforming Complexity into Orientation.

Trade fairs are evolving—and not just due to COVID-19. They are taking on a new role: acting as overarching content managers and trendsetters within their focus areas. With this in mind, the concept for the composites trade fair was thoroughly restructured. Furthermore, the inherent complexity of the industry was broken down across multiple levels and translated into clear content and visual orientation systems. 

An Innovative Trade Fair Layout Signaling Change.

New content formats alongside revamped existing formats—a blend of networking, information, and presentation had to be translated into an intuitive orientation system. At the same time, visitors needed to sense the event’s innovative realignments as soon as they entered the hall. The solution: a diagonal main boulevard featuring strategically positioned orientation hubs—flanked by a visual and architectural navigation system.
