A product launch should feel like something is about to happen.

Visitors should feel the anticipation and excitement before the reveal. The lighting, the sound and the atmosphere all add to the drama, and the HEXIS Sky-Lounge offers a platform to match that expectation.

This isn't simply somewhere to hold a product launch. It’s a place to create theatre around it. Somewhere memories are made.

Imagine customers, journalists, dealers and influencers arriving for an exclusive launch.

The HEXIS Sky-Lounge offers something very different - elevated hospitality combined with a spectacular space for the big reveal.

Whether it’s a motorcycle, performance car, technology product or a luxury brand, the HEXIS provides a blank canvas where the product remains the hero.

If you’ve created something special, why not create an equally special way to launch it?

Elevate your launch.

WHAT A MONTH FOR HEXIS.
When we erected the HEXIS Sky Lounge in Newbury at the beginning of July, we knew we were excited about bringing this extraordinary piece of event architecture back to the market. What we didn’t appreciate was the reaction it would receive.
During July we welcomed over 200 people including our own team, respected industry colleagues, suppliers, event professionals and prospective clients.
We officially celebrated the launch as part of our annual summer BBQ, giving the team a chance to experience the HEXIS Sky Lounge in person.
Some visitors remembered the structure from its earlier life so there was a wonderful sense of nostalgia and a genuine excitement at seeing it return to the events industry with a new name and a fresh start.
Various suppliers discussed how they wanted to be involved in its future development as customers shared their ideas for sporting events, festivals, hospitality, brand activations, corporate events and even some applications we hadn't even considered ourselves.
A huge thank you to everyone who visited, shared ideas and advice and helped make the launch such a positive experience.
We would also like to thank Richard Jopson, from New York who captured some truly spectacular night-time images, and Anthony Fulcher for producing this fantastic launch video, as well as headshots of the team, photos of visitors and this stunning drone footage.
And a huge thank you to everyone behind the scenes who helped make the whole month possible especially during this incredible heatwave.
The HEXIS may have come down in Newbury, but this is very much just the beginning.
We have had several site inspections for live projects and are actively looking for suitable venues and locations around the UK where we can build the Sky- Lounge as part of introducing it to the wider event community.
If you have a prestigious venue or event where the Sky-Lounge could be used why not drop us a line or leave a comment below

The Story of HEXIS
Great design rarely happens by accident.
HEXIS is the result of almost two decades of engineering innovation, premium craftsmanship and a shared belief that temporary event structures should be every bit as inspiring as the brands they represent.
Originally conceived in 2007 under the C6(n) brand, the structure was created by Christopher Pitchford and Charles Hall, whose backgrounds and passion for high-performance yacht racing, architecture and sustainable design inspired a completely different approach to temporary event architecture.
Rather than producing another aluminium-framed event structure, the team set out to engineer a premium modular system that combined exceptional strength with refined aesthetics and complete reusability.
As development progressed, Michael Hall and Tori Hall joined the project, bringing additional engineering and event industry expertise. Drawing heavily on techniques used in luxury yacht construction, the team specified carbon fibre, marine-grade stainless steel and other high-performance materials more commonly associated with elite motorsport and superyachts than the events industry.
The result was a revolutionary structural system that reduced installation complexity whilst delivering outstanding structural performance, durability and visual impact.
Over £2.5 million has since been invested in the design, engineering, tooling, testing and structural validation of the system. Every structure is supported by comprehensive independent structural calculations, engineering analysis and extensive health and safety documentation, giving organisers, agencies and brand owners complete confidence.
Following its launch, the structure quickly attracted the attention of some of the world’s most recognised brands, including Google, Pepsi and Nivea. It became synonymous with premium experiential marketing, hospitality and brand activation throughout Europe and the United States, with the engineering platform also forming the basis of the iconic triple-deck Circular Tower.
Following the closure of C6(n) in 2019, the structures were carefully preserved by Unique Event Structures Ltd under the leadership of Tori Hall, ensuring this remarkable engineering achievement remained available for future generations.
That future began in January 2026.
Following a meeting between Peter Bowen, Founder and CEO of Access Displays Ltd, and Tori Hall, the two companies formed a strategic partnership built around a shared vision—to reintroduce one of the industry’s most innovative event structures to a new generation of clients.
Today, Unique Event Structures is responsible for the ongoing development, installation, logistics, structural compliance and operational delivery of the system, whilst Access Displays has become the exclusive sales and marketing partner, drawing upon more than 36 years of international exhibition and event experience.
Together they have launched a new brand:
HEXIS
HEXIS represents a new generation of elevated event architecture—premium, modular environments that help ambitious brands create unforgettable experiences.
The current collection includes:
• HEXIS Pavilion – A premium single-level hospitality and activation space.
• HEXIS Sky Lounge – A striking double-storey structure offering elevated hospitality and exceptional brand visibility.
• HEXIS Sky Lounge Plus – An enhanced configuration offering additional premium features, functionality and bespoke options.
HEXIS isn’t simply another temporary structure.
It is engineered architecture designed to elevate brands, transform event spaces and create experiences that people remember long after the event has ended.

The kind of brands that have visited the Hexis Sky-Lounge over the last few weeks have been varied and so have their ideas on how to use it. Some are looking to use it in its raw form while others are thinking of it as a blank canvas, a place to start or a structure to build from. It’s fascinating to listen to these ideas but what better way to convert ideas into reality than to introduce one of the most creative and practical designers, Marc Zandy
As we all know, when the creative juices start flowing, realism and practicalities are sometimes left wanting. Production raise eyebrows and installers count “sky hooks” when they look at designs that are just not realist.
Whilst we are keen to develop the Hexis range and push the boundaries to test its capabilities, it needs to be controlled progress not time wasted.
Hexis is an incredibly well-designed modular structure, that has the ability to turn heads and elevate brands. Using lightweight carbon fibre components that are enhanced by stainless steel automatically aligns with high brand expectations.
Working with Mark we hope to model the structure so that we have templates that work on a structural, practical, and financial basis which we can then enhance from a creative design perspective.
If you would like to experience the Hexis Sky- Lounge in a real world setting in Newbury, Berkshire, we still have availability on 29th and 30th July.
