A bespoke solution for your show, working with trusted consultants and suppliers across other technical disciplines.
We work across a wide range of venues, e.g., theatres, concert halls, conference centres, exhibition halls, arenas, outdoor events, and more.
Based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, Open White Design was set up by Dave Catley, whose experience in the events technical industry spans over 20 years in a variety of individual and touring shows.
Whilst specialising in lighting design, Dave has always maintained a multi-discipline skill set, working with other departments to aid inter-departmental integration.
We treat every show individually, and this process starts with a detailed analysis of the design brief:
This insight then allows us to focus on delivering your vision throughout the project. We then look at all the other factors involved – scale, setting, audience, timescale, personnel, other technical departments and of course, budget. Combining all of these with the analysis of the brief, we then get creative and bring together a winning concept for your show.
This is always the foundation on which we implement the job.
Attention to detail is our number one priority. We offer an inventory of equipment and infrastructure maintained to the highest standard. When we augment this, we use carefully selected suppliers so the designs you approve become a reality.
We prep everything to our exacting standards at our premises in Leeds, UK. Our fantastic crew then combines design and equipment to create unique events and memorable shows.
