Using Curved Fabric SEG Light Boxes to Transform Seattle’s Iconic Space Needle
The Space Needle is a breathtaking landmark of the Pacific Northwest and one of Seattle’s iconic locations.
It was built and officially open to the public in 1962 for the World’s Fair, drawing over 10 million guests. From that point forward, more than 1.3 million guests annually have ridden its elevators up 605 feet to take in the views of the city, Downtown Seattle, Puget Sound, the Cascade Range, and the Olympic Mountains.
In 2016, Space Needle moved ahead to create a 21st-century experience for Space Needle visitors, showcasing historic events in American cultures and evolution. They found DSA’s innovative curved fabric SEG light boxes to be the perfect solution to create an interactive and show stopping medium for the presentation of their chosen information and graphics,
Challenge
The main challenge in this project was to design curved light boxes that would integrate perfectly into the shape of the room and guide visitors through the exhibit as they are making their way up and around the sphere. As one of the most popular touristic attractions in the country, the exhibit needed to be modern, high-tech, and attractive for visitors to learn about the landmarks history.
Solution
DSA designed 15 Curved Fabric SEG light boxes, including interactive mounts to create multilevel imagery with film graphics.
- Ultra-bright, energy-efficient LED
- Backlit for full illumination coverage
- Lightweight yet durable curved aluminum extrusion
- Custom curved shapes with cutouts for audio insertion

Collaboration with DSA Signage
The Space Needle in Seattle, Washington, stands as an iconic symbol not just for the city but for the entire West Coast. Tasked with telling the story behind this cultural landmark, Bill Smith, Principal at Story Line Studio, faced significant challenges due to the limited space available for the exhibit. Despite the constraints, Smith recognized the potential in partnering with DSA, with our expertise in light boxes and signage solutions, we embarked on a journey to bring the Space Needle’s narrative to life.
DSA’s collaboration with Story Line Studio on the Space Needle exhibit exemplifies our ability to tackle complex design challenges with finesse. Our partnership on the Space Needle signifies a seamless integration of expertise and innovation, resulting in an immersive experience that captivates visitors. As the exhibit unfolds around corners and curves, it’s impossible not to connect the well crafted curved fabric SEG light boxes with the success of the project.
