BBC Sports Paris Olympics 2024

We are thrilled to be a part of this momentous event. Kalitowski Design brings the architecture of Paris into full view through a scenic and virtual menagerie.

Project Details

Designer: Toby Kalitowski & Jim Mann

Client: BBC Sports

Location: Paris

The studio is framed by a 10m x 4m portal with the (actual) Eiffel tower as a backdrop. The scenic elements include ‘blue steel’ walls with accents of art deco, an arched bank of soft seating. Alongside sits the desk arrangement with softened acrylic topped lightboxes and faced in dead-matte technology developed in conjunction with BK Projects.

Jim Mann’s environmental enhancements bring the whole scene to life. We can wait to see this in action over the next few weeks.

We’ve work across multiple venues this year including the main Trocadero T.V. Studios – Paris, The Stade de France (Athletic) and Paris La Defense Arena as well as an interview area the Team GB Olympic village.
