Distortion Festival
We had an incredible time at Distortion Festival, one of Copenhagen’s most electrifying and innovative festivals. Known for its energetic street parties and cutting-edge music. Every year from 2024 to 2026, we’ve built areas for them using our mellow joint system and reused Euro pallets. Every year as the festival expanded, so did the things we imagined and built.
What Distortion needed
Distortion is busy and a bit chaotic, in a good way. The structures had to match that energy, be comfortable to use, and fit into a crowded festival site without getting in the way. They also had to go up fast and come down fast, because the schedule for a festival like this doesn’t leave much room.
Year by year
2024
We brought some serious chill to the food & drink area, creating a cozy hangout spot with our signature designs. We also crafted a bespoke DJ booth for one of the outdoor stages, adding our unique touch to the festival’s eclectic vibe. By using our mellow joint system and upcycled Euro Pallets.
2025
Year one was a hit, so Distortion wanted more! We brought the idea to more corners of the festival, setting up lounges and hangout spots next to the stages and all around the site. More places to kick back, catch your breath, and hang out with friends, wherever the festival took you.
2026
This year, we teamed up with Fernet Branca to give the lounge a little extra comfort. The pallet structure stayed true to our signature style, but cushions made it softer, cosier, and a lot more inviting. The perfect spot to grab a seat, catch up with friends, and stay a little longer.
How we build it
The beauty of the mellow joint is that the same parts can do so many different things. By connecting standard Euro pallets in different ways, we turned one system into lounges, standing tables, a DJ booth, and a brand lounge. And the best part is that we can take it all apart and use the same pieces for the next project.
No need to start from scratch every time! Our structures might be temporary, but the materials don’t have to be. Build it, switch it up, take it apart, and build something new. That’s the idea behind designing for reuse.
