White Design Studio put a new face on the USDF’s Roemer Foundation/USDF Hall of Fame exhibit for the 2010 World Equestrian Games or WEG. USDF is located in Lexington, Kentucky and is part of the Kentucky Horse Park. Our exhibit design centered around two full-sized, horse-and-rider sculptures. These colorful icons symbolize the union of horse and rider in the sport of dressage. A series of graphic panels line the perimeter wall, each highlighting a part of the dressage story. A 24′ time line panel knits together all things dressage. Additional information is delivered via two interactive video displays.

Large-scale, 2D sculptures of horses act as center pieces for the museum exhibit design at the United States Dressage Foundation.

This exhibit design project is a great example of our ability to take a story and make it engaging, educational and entertaining.

Large, 2D, green horse feature stands in foreground, in the background is a timeline and digital feature explaining the USDF story.

Large images and graphic panels explain USDF history and story throughout the exhibit.

Exhibit design includes large scale photography and digital experience.

White Design Studio is a multidisciplinary design firm located in Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio. We specialize in the design, production, and installation of integrated branding solutions. Our solutions orchestrate corporate identity, marketing, storytelling, environmental, photography, video, print and interactive elements. At White Design Studio, we believe the best way to communicate your brand’s story is through branded environments and experiences. We work with manufacturers, service providers, non-profits, architects and developers, agencies, distributors, governments and municipalities, and museums. First, we identify the work that a campaign, space, or interactive needs to do. We can then model a vision of what success looks like, and design to meet that vision. We are passionate about helping clients communicate their value through well-crafted storytelling, a consistent 2D, 3D, and digital design approach and expert production techniques.

Our solutions deliver key messaging, branded specifically for each target audience. Workplace, Corporate Briefing Centers, Showrooms and Lobbies, Museum Displays and Exhibits, Retail Showrooms and Store Design are all great examples of White Design’s sweet spot of design, fabrication and installation capabilities.
Directional Signs / Wayfinding: Our complete interior and exterior directional signage systems are intuitive, design and material appropriate. Each design is complementary to architecture, interiors and other branding elements where they coexist. First, we create a hierarchical messaging system, then we match that system to location opportunity maps. Then, we apply concept designs to all of the individual components. Finally, we fabricate and install our solutions.

Our installations deliver critical information to all of your audiences in a way that is entertaining and memorable. RFID, Projection Mapping, Touch, Proximity Detection and the use of Motion Activated Devices are just a few of the tools we use to deliver your message. White Design Studio’s goal is to make the technology invisible so nothing comes between your audience and your message.
Corporate Sculptures: At White Design Studio we design art with a purpose. Our interior and exterior, custom-designed sculptures help create iconic symbols for Communities, Municipalities, Non-Profits and Corporations. They embody the essence of a group by distilling their core brand messaging into a creative and unique 3D feature. Whether it’s interior or exterior sculptures, hanging mobiles in an atrium or a monumental courtyard centerpiece, Peter and his team collaborate with artisans to create one-of-kind expressions that tell your story in a memorable way.
