369 Design Lab

The magic of the lighting design for @anirudhofficial ‘s new XV tour is in going back to basics - lines and shapes providing dramatic effect and spectacle for the Paris audience. We brought out our tools and expertise to add even more life (and light) to an unforgettable performance at the @adidasarena recently.

First stop. First show. Anirudh XV - Hyderabad 🔥❤️‍🔥 This one was about building a flow from idea to execution, where creative direction, concepting, content production, stage and lighting design, SFX, and show running all worked together behind the scenes to support what the audience felt in front. Watching it all come alive in real time, with 30,000 people locked into the same energy, made every detail worth it. Proud & Grateful✨🙏🏻 @anirudhofficial @brand.avatar @coatsmanindia @reynoldssound_lighting @kkreddy2904 @designlab369 #anirudhxv #anirudhmusic #anirudhravichander #anirudhhyderabad #anirudhlove

The first #OnLocation in India and the first with two people … we caught up with Guru Somayaji and Bala Subramanya (Vinod), from Bangalore-based design studio, @designlab369 , amid the hustle, vibrance and chaos of Mumbai! We heard about the start of 369 Design Lab, their love of collaboration, their design for a massive show by Indian megastar Anirudh in Chennai last year and … a couple of their craziest gigs! #robelighting #369designlab #lightinglife

It’s not everyday that we get to take a step back to feel all our senses. It’s much rarer to find experiences where you get to face such intense connection as gently as we did with Photones. Last friday, what echoed at our studio was a testament to how our fragmented perceptions can melleate into shared sensibilities. To the artists who made this possible... thank you for materialising what we have been dreaming for this space. And thank you, for reminding us what art is capable of doing to us.

Photones is built around a simple idea: that the combination of sound and light can change the way we move through a moment. On Dec 19 2025, we bring Cairodusk, Nikhil Narendra, llitt, VJ Zombie, and 369 Design Lab together for a night of slow ambient sounds, immersive visuals, and lights at Damn Good Studios (Formerly Yolk Studios). This is a shared space where the borders between the senses blur so that you can slow down and reconnect with yourself and others. A quad sound system will supply us with ambient soundwaves while a fully immersive projection setup will wrap this beautiful space with analog visuals & light. Where the echoes of light meet the rays of sound. Photones. ✨ Expect floor seating, so please bring blankets, mats or pillows to get comfortable.

@anirudhofficial 's Chennai project marks a first for many reasons. A true testament that collaborations done right bring out an amazing Concert Experience for YOU, the audience. What we achieved wasn’t for the faint hearted, but, once in a while, it doesn’t hurt to show off. ✨ A big shout out to @primarkproductions @brand.avatar and @vjkaycee for trusting us to really up our game with Live Concerts Production in India. They say, it all starts with a pen and paper. We drew our hearts out and were on site for many days to make this dream come true. None of this would be possible without our Co-conspirators and mad mentors in chief: - @Pixadoo.in for being our big brothers at the helm and designing that spell binding LED Screen. -@kkreddy2904 Producer in Chief and his team for never saying NO and always making things possible.  -@Coatsmanindia for truly building a marvel of a structure – which we believe will be the benchmark for India.  -@Reynoldssound_lighting for going all guns blazing with Sound, Lights and Lasers. -@pixelart_colours_pvt_ltd for building one of the largest LED Wall. -@stagesplfx for those stunning SFX and Pyrotechnics.  Following are the lighting fixtures we used to bring our vision for this landmark concert to life: @clay.paky Sharpy XFrame X 70 Nos @robelighting iFORTE® LTX FS X 6 Nos, RoboSpot X 4 Nos @eklights_intl Terminator X 48 Nos, K65 IP X 12 Nos, Diamond Back X 94 Nos, Collider FC X 68 Nos @stagetronixpro WP430 X 70 Nos, Hector MHPS-600 X 68 Nos, PS100 X 24 Nos, Chronos MHW X 24 Nos, Kratos SW X 30 Nos, Xenon STR X 40 Nos, Apollo BL-2 X 14 Nos, Atlas FL-300 X 18 Nos, Khroma LB1810 X 50 Nos, WP430 X 70 Nos @stagetronixpro Kolorwave 40000 X 16 Nos, Kolorwave 120000 X 2 Nos @ma_lighting_international GrandMA3 Full Size X 2 Nos, GrandMA3 Processing Unit L X 1 Nos SCAFFOLDING AND STRUCTURE: •This is probably one of the largest scaffolding installations built for Live Entertainment application with over 120+ Metric Tonnes of metal used to build this beauty.

Last year @vinod_Id got an opportunity to programme and create a spell binding experience using time code at the grand Dev Deepavali festival in the Ravidas Ghats of Varanasi. This surreal experience involved placing lights across a massive structure and also creating a spell binding experience using time code. A true sense of design collaboration with lights, projection and lasers. ✨ A huge shout out to @pratikw & @mssworld_india for having us work this incredible project.

Earlier this year, and on home turf, the whole team at 369 Design Lab got to work together from start to finish - designing to execution - on the 2 day Bangalore edition of the Hukum Tour for @anirudhofficial ✨ Lights, lasers, smoke effects - we did them all and created this this stunning visual experience together with @pixadoo.in and @vjkaycee Starting from the immaculately timed intro sequence for Anirudh’s first appearance on stage and throughout the 3 hour show, the live experience for this gig was absolutely unforgettable and we got to do it two nights in a row!

#TBT @gururecommends designed this incredible concert for Thamizh singer/songwriter @pradeep_kumar1123 last year in Malaysia with @kalyaninair86 joining on vocals and orchestra score. What was unique about this concert? The inclusion of a massive 24 piece orchestra on stage in an incredible indoor arena - Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur. @i_films.in @irshad_pklr_ captured some memorable moments from this unforgettable concert.

#latepost We are proud to announce that @vinod_ld has won “Outstanding Light Designer of the Year Award” at @palmexpo_india - a first for us. This award is an incredible honor for us at @designlab369 as we innovate and create world class lighting design and concert design experiences. In Vinod’s words: “None of this would have been possible without some people in my life. @vijay_ld_ld for giving me my first real opportunity to work behind the lighting console. @haroldferns for being the guiding light with dreaming large rigs, @namitkambli for being the eternal big brother and teaching me multiple applications with lighting design, @vjkaycee and @pixadoo.in for constantly inspiring me to innovate and think. Fellow brothers and partners in crime @gururecommends for introducing me to the mad world of live entertainment and pushing me to open up our world as a collaborative design studio, @biju__chettan for bringing in a bout of fresh sparks in doing what we do.“ Let there be more light! ✨ Swipe to see @gururecommends at the award show receiving this humbling honor on behalf of Vinod. 🙌🏽 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #369DesignLab #LightingDesigner #StageLighting #LiveMusic #ConcertExperiences #AwardWinner [Lighting Designer, Lighting Engineer, Award Winner, Light Designer Of The Year, Palm Sound and Light Award, Stage Lighting, Concert Experiences, Live Entertainment, Live Stage, Live Music, Live Artists, Tour Lighting, Lighting Design, Stage Design, Lighting Production, Concert Design, Live Experiences]

Earlier this year, we had the incredible opportunity to ideate and collaborate with @pixadoo.in for the legend @yoyohoneysingh 's Millionnaire Tour. This tour spanning across ten cities included a rare 360 degree stage design that we helped create for the show in Delhi. Under the aegis of creative director and strategist @vjkaycee we designed and developed this mammoth structure that not just had a big visual screen, but also included automation for the big reveal of the lad from Karampura, West Delhi. On site, we programmed and lit the audience all around with stunning lighting effects and lasers. This Delhi show was definitely one for the books! 💯✨ Stage, Structure, Lighting and Visual Design - @designlab369 X @pixadoo.in Lighting on Site Operation: @gururecommends Lighting Programming: @vinod_ld Laser Programming and Operation: @biju__chettan We designed this rig with @vectorworks and we programmed and executed the show on @ma_lighting_international #GrandMA3 systems.
