Hall des Lumières

What Hall des Lumières does

Hall des Lumières is a luxury immersive event venue and exhibition space located at 49 Chambers Street in New York City, operating within the restored 1909-1912 Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank building — a Beaux-Arts landmark and the first skyscraper in NYC built in that style. The venue spans 30,000+ sq ft across two floors with 40-foot ceilings and 100+ year-old architectural details, comprising three distinct event spaces: the Historic Floor (11,533 sq ft), Modern Floor (9,899 sq ft), and the Bank Vault (520 sq ft), plus three green rooms and a catering kitchen. The venue is operated by Culturespaces, a French private company (RCS Paris 8378955116) headquartered at 153 Boulevard Haussmann, Paris.

The venue operates on two distinct business lines. The first is private event venue rental and production for corporate galas, fashion shows, product launches, weddings, and brand activations, using a sales-led approach with an inquiry-driven sales team, HDL Productions (in-house production), and a curated preferred vendor network for catering, rentals, and permits. The second is public immersive art exhibitions, currently featuring 'Renaissance: Da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo,' sold exclusively through the Fever app and website. The technical stack combines 140+ projectors, spatial audio, HD scanning, 3D modeling, and digital twin technology — purpose-built for projection mapping onto historic architecture. The venue has hosted clients including Ralph Lauren, American Express, Tory Burch, Stella Artois, Proenza Schouler, Hennessy, Injective, and Al Ula Hotels across fashion, beverage, financial services, hospitality, and technology verticals.

Revenue is generated through three streams: ticket sales for time-limited immersive exhibitions (via Fever), private event venue rental contracts with initial deposits, and production services income from HDL Productions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; private event pricing is quote-based and exhibition ticket pricing is variable through Fever. The company operates with 11 employees, runs a multi-language website (English, French, Spanish), and maintains active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. The venue's competitive position rests on the irreplaceable landmark real estate, the parent company's content library, and the proprietary projection-and-audio stack tailored to the historic venue geometry.

Direct peers

• Meow Wolf: Operates large-scale immersive art experiences (House of Eternal Return, Convergence Station) combining projection, sculpture, and narrative environments. Comparable by experiential format and ticketed consumer model, though anchored more in interactive installation than projection mapping.
• Atelier des Lumières: The Paris-based sister venue operated by Culturespaces using the same immersive digital-art projection model inside a historic industrial building. Most directly comparable peer — same parent, same technology stack, same content approach, same Fever ticketing model.
• Superblue: Operates immersive experiential art venues featuring large-scale installations by contemporary artists. Comparable by format (ticketed immersive art in dedicated venues) and target market (cultural experience consumers and private event clients).
• teamLab: Japan-based interdisciplinary art collective producing immersive digital art installations (Borderless, Planets) with projection mapping and interactive technology. Direct competitor in the immersive digital-art category with global ticketed venues.
• Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience: Touring immersive Van Gogh exhibition operated across multiple U.S. cities using projection mapping onto large walls. Comparable by exhibition format and ticketed Fever-style distribution, though typically operates in temporary venues rather than permanent landmark spaces.
• Spring Studios: NYC event production venue hosting NYFW fashion shows, brand activations, and corporate events. Comparable by client base (Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch and similar luxury fashion houses) and private-event-driven business model, though without the immersive projection exhibition component.
• ARTECHOUSE: Operates immersive digital art installations in NYC, DC, and Miami, projecting art onto walls with spatial audio. Closest U.S. peer by format — combines ticketed public exhibitions with private event rentals in landmark-adjacent spaces.
• NeueHouse: Members-based creative workspaces and event venues in NYC and LA hosting brand events, fashion presentations, and corporate gatherings. Comparable by luxury-event positioning and enterprise client base in fashion/media sectors.

Others

• Fever: Global experiences marketplace and exclusive ticketing partner for Hall des Lumières' public exhibitions. Not a competitor but a key ecosystem enabler — provides consumer distribution, marketing, and discovery for the immersive exhibition business.

Broad incumbents
