The name The Wave has a very literal connection to the building itself. The distinctive roofline of the headquarters follows the shape of a wave, making it a defining architectural feature of the building.

More than a new headquarters

From the moment guests arrived, it was clear that this was more than simply an official opening. The entire building had been transformed into an immersive experience, showcasing the creativity and technology that are at the heart of FBR Europe.

Guests entered through FBR Airlines, a specially designed curved LED dome transformed into the interior of an aircraft. The installation created a unique first impression and immediately transported guests into a different world.

Inside, the various spaces of the headquarters were given their own atmosphere and identity. One of the highlights was the demonstration room, transformed into a Times Square-inspired environment surrounded by LED technology and accompanied by the timeless music of Frank Sinatra.

The installations demonstrated not only the capabilities of FBR Europe’s equipment, but also the creative possibilities that arise when technology and storytelling come together.

A new chapter for FBR Europe

The new headquarters has been designed as more than a workplace. It is a place where customers, partners, colleagues and the wider audiovisual industry can come together, experience technology and develop new ideas.

With its distinctive wave-shaped roof, the building has a strong identity of its own. And with FBR Europe continuing to grow internationally, The Wave Grou represents both where the company is today and where it is heading next.
