Main stage for keynotes and evening salons. Seating for 600 with theatre-grade acoustics, dual projection, and live interpretation in English, French, and German.
Location
Meridian Centre, Basel
Meridian inhabits the Meridian Centre at Messeplatz — the landmark hall of Basel's design quarter, steps from the Kunsthalle and the Basel School of Design. Concrete, glass, and measured light make it the ideal canvas for Swiss-inspired layouts, installations, and day-to-night programming.
A campus designed for focus
The centre spans three connected wings. Each is scaled for different cadences — from keynote theatre to intimate critiques. Expect thoughtful signage, quiet lounges, and generous circulation to keep every session punctual.
Modulor Studio
Hands-on workshop floor with modular stations, tactile prototyping materials, and dedicated critique walls sized for Swiss poster formats.
Ratio Lab
Residency wing for teams. Includes private breakout rooms, A/V-equipped boardrooms, and a materials library curated by Gridline Labs.
