In the heart of Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter (JQ), a striking new installation titled Ideas Happen Here was unveiled. This free-form lightbulb sculpture serves as both a tribute to the area’s rich heritage in innovation, manufacturing, and design, and an invitation for residents and visitors to explore their own creativity.

Taylex Group was tasked with transforming this visionary concept into reality. With expertise in exhibitions, brand activations, and live events, our team took on the challenge of manufacturing, building, and installing the installation—bringing an idea to life with precision, craftsmanship, and excellence.

Debuting at the Birmingham Light Festival, Ideas Happen Here stands as a beacon of creativity and innovation. Its abstract, illuminated design honours the Jewellery Quarter’s legacy of craftsmanship while looking toward its bright future.

Taylex Group played a key role in the full-scale execution, ensuring that the installation was built with the highest standards in mind. From structural integrity to visual impact, we worked to make sure every detail was crafted to perfection. The result is a stunning public installation that continues to inspire visitors and residents alike.
