Miele Unlocked at AREA15 | Karma Group
The Miele Unlocked pavilion lit in red inside AREA15 in Las Vegas

Case study

A room that only exists in red.

PhotographyVideoBrand LaunchAREA15

Two Eighteen built the Miele Unlocked launch environment at AREA15 in Las Vegas. Arched entries, projection mapped walls, and appliances styled top to bottom in a single color. We photographed the build and the night it opened.

The challenge

One color, almost no light, and every frame had to hold.

Miele Unlocked is lit almost entirely in saturated red. That is a gift on the wall and a problem in the camera. Red is the first channel to clip, and a space this committed to one hue turns to mush the moment exposure drifts. Every frame had to keep detail in the product without losing the glow that made the room work.

It also had to be shot twice. The environment clean, before guests arrived, to show what Two Eighteen actually built. Then the room in use, because a launch is not a set, it is an evening, and it happens once.

Our approach

How we solved it.

01

Install pass

Covered the build going in, including the arches before the product landed, so the structure Two Eighteen fabricated is on record.

02

Empty environment

Photographed the finished space clean and lit, exposing for the product inside the arches rather than the walls around them.

03

The launch

Shot the evening itself: guests moving through the corridors, the stage presentation, the styled interiors, and the details on the bar.

04

Deliver

Portfolio-grade stills and short form video cuts, plus the full original library, handed to Two Eighteen ready for pitch decks and social.

Selected work

Selected frames.

Results

What we delivered.

Two passes

empty build + live night

The environment photographed clean before doors, then in motion once the room filled.

Photo + video

one team, one evening

Stills and motion from the same crew across a single night, with no second chance at any of it.

Portfolio-grade

built to ship

Shot to the standard Two Eighteen uses in pitch decks, social, and client presentations.
