Florian Wieder, Stage Designer for the
Eurovision Song Contest 2021, recently revealed more about inspiration for this year’s stage at Rotterdam Ahoy Arena.
“The entire design was inspired by Dutch design, understated, beautiful and a little more simple. One of the benefits of this is that it can achieve many different looks with its many hidden features. This stage can do a lot,” he said.
One of the unique features of this year’s stage is the screen that towers over it, 52 meters in length and 12 meters high.
“The screen is wider than the floor itself, in fact, so it had to be built to cross into the tiered seating on the sides of the stage to make it happen,” Florian explained, adding: “Fans should be on the lookout for the different way the screen will… open up.
