Illuminating Creativity:

In the heart of Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter (JQ), a striking new installation has taken shape: Ideas Happen Here. This bold, free-form lightbulb structure is more than just a piece of art—it’s a celebration of the area’s deep-rooted heritage in innovation, manufacturing, and design. It stands as both a tribute to the JQ’s legacy and an invitation for residents and visitors to explore their own creativity.

At Taylex Group, we pride ourselves on transforming visionary concepts into immersive brand experiences. As a leader in live events, exhibitions, and brand activations, we were proud to take on the challenge of manufacturing, building, and installing this ambitious project.

A Symbol of Innovation

Debuting at the Birmingham Light Festival, Ideas Happen Here is a beacon of creativity, designed to inspire and engage. The abstract design of the illuminated lightbulb reflects the Jewellery Quarter’s history of pioneering craftsmanship, while also looking ahead to the exciting future of the district.

Bringing this idea to life required expert collaboration, precise craftsmanship, and a commitment to excellence—qualities that define Taylex Group’s approach to every project we take on.

The Power of Collaboration

Projects like this don’t happen in isolation. Ideas Happen Here is the result of a creative partnership between some of the most talented minds in design, engineering, and production:

• Rough Diamond – A boutique creative agency specializing in storytelling through place, helping to shape the project’s artistic vision.
• RAWLS – A technical design studio that provided visualization expertise and tackled structural and technical challenges.
• Taylex Group – Our team managed the full-scale manufacture, build, and installation of the lightbulb structure, ensuring flawless execution.
• i-Vision – A design-led lighting manufacturer that enhanced the installation’s visual impact.
• Code 14 – Experts in metal structure solutions, providing vital support for durability and design.
• Angle Ring – Specialists in metal curving, playing a key role in shaping the installation’s unique structure.

By working together, we transformed a creative vision into a tangible, awe-inspiring reality.

Jewellery Quarter: A Hub for Creativity and Brand Activation
