First modular & circular stage system
#1 Pop Up Pavillon for an intervention // #2 stage design / installation for a performance
With our modular parts we were able to build more than just one stage design.
The stage design consisted of metal parts and textiles.
###Components for the metal construction
- aluminium poles / M16 / length: 30cm / 60cm / 80cm (Aluminiumstangen / M16 / Länge: 30cm / 60cm / 80cm)
- Mero thread balls / M12 (Mero Gewinde Kugeln / M12)
- union nut / M16, length: 4cm (Verbindungsmutter / M16, Länge: 4cm)
- hat - screw nut / M16 (Hutmutter M16)
- thread bar / M12) (Gewindestange M12)
- flat head screws / M16 (Senkschrauben M16)
- eye screws / M5 (Ösenschrauben / M5)
- wing nut / M5 (Flügelmutter / M5)
- for the base: nut / M16 (Mutter / M16) + washer (Unterlegscheibe)
##Process
We decided to get Mero balls (Mero-Kugeln) to base our design on. Then we created own parts which we wanted to combine with the Mero-System.
The task was to combine the Mero balls with M12 thread with poles that have a M16 thread. So we created our own connectors by soldering in version 1 a M12 thread bar to a M16 hat screw nut and in version 2 a M12 flat head screw to a M16 union nut.
First in version 1 we experimented and produced modules that have different angles than the 45° angles, the mero system offers
Then we were struggling and challenged by statics. We had to rethink the connector types and produced a more steady version. Now we have two sets with different types of connectors that we can work with depending on what kind of pole construction is needed.
##Components
Mero balls system / Mero Kugel-System with connectors version 1 and an aluminium pole.
