R90 Lighting

We had the absolute honor and pleasure to work with Sam Minkoff and the SE Productions team to design, engineer and deliver the coveted ceremonial Superbowl rings to our hometown hero's the Seattle Seahawks. In a short 4 month time frame we had the challenge of designing and executing a ring delivery concept that had never been done before.

The event included 3 phases:
An entry hallway to a 360 degree bar and lounge
An elegant dinning hall where we dropped dinner, beats and some rings.
And a final show room stage where Metro Boomin kept us partying till the end of the night.

For those that know me personally... you know I can't resist a challenge. Especially when it's something that's never been done or attempted. When Sam told me he wanted to figure out how to lower the rings onto the dinner table, we said "challenge accepted!" then we found out that it wasn't just the players and coaches who get rings... there are 224 rings. 6 53' trailers, 160 points, 224 wireless fixtures and 5 days later we can now say challenge completed.

Along the way we also broke another record... special shouts out to GLP - German Light Products and the new series of Nexus lights. If you haven't gotten a chance take a look, it's a really cool product. This event is currently the record holder for simultaneously running 224 Nexus fixtures.

R90 Lighting was proud to partner with Campfire Collective to illuminate the reopening of Seattle Union Station's Grand Hall.

By blending modern lighting technology with the timeless beauty of this iconic landmark, we helped create an unforgettable atmosphere that celebrated both the building's rich history and its exciting future.

From elegant architectural highlights to immersive event lighting, every detail was designed to showcase the grandeur of one of Seattle's most treasured spaces.

A huge thank you to Campfire Collective for the opportunity to collaborate on this incredible project.
