Hoberman installed its new Expanding Sphere at the center of the Deutsche Telekom (parent company of the T-Mobile brand) booth at the 2010 CeBIT trade fair in Hanover.

Hoberman was contracted by q~bus Mediatektur, the innovative Berlin-based company responsible for the design and realization of Deutsche Telekom’s 6000 square meter booth, a technologically sophisticated brand environment that included an interactive multi-user environment incorporating 25 megapixels of video displays. Suspended centrally above this environment, the Expanding Sphere expanded from 1.3 to 4.5 meters. It is made from milled aircraft aluminum and has a refined geometry with curved struts and hubs and cleverly concealed assembly details; all powder-coated in white for a sleek, modern aesthetic. dynamically growing and interacting with an elaborate choreography of lighting and LED video displays.
