What Ombra Design does

Ombra Design is a London-headquartered, founder-led creative studio specializing in show design, content design, and AR/XR production for live events, music tours, and commercial brand activations. The studio operates as a full-service provider, delivering end-to-end visual production including creative direction, 2D/3D content creation, stage design, lighting design, Notch-based real-time generative visuals, AR/XR experiences, and on-site show direction and live operations. Its core technology stack is built around Disguise XR media servers, Notch real-time visual effects, Unreal Engine, Houdini, Cinema 4D, Redshift, Octane, Embergen, Xparticles, Quixel textures, and complementary systems (BlackTrax for tracking, CuePilot for show calling, Rokoko MoCap for motion capture, Resolume for live VJ mixing), enabling delivery of stadium-scale productions with 490+ light rigs and 1,000+ square meters of LED video surfaces.

The studio serves a predominantly enterprise B2B client base spanning major international music artists (Geolier, Pinguini Tattici Nucleari, Marracash, Martin Garrix, The Killers, Janet Jackson, DJ Snake, Liam Payne, Tedua, Fedez, San Holo, Oliver Heldens, Indira Paganotto), commercial brands (Maserati, CUPRA, Yeezy Gap, ROLI, Audi), sports organizations (EuroLeague), and streaming platforms (Amazon Prime Video). Geographic delivery extends across Italy, the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, the USA, and Canada. The business model is project-based professional services with bespoke engagements; projects are secured through direct outreach, referrals, and co-development partnerships with tier-one production companies including Filmmaster Events, Moment Factory, 24/7 Productions, High Scream, Feel Rouge World Shows, Friends and Partners, and Balich Wonder Studio.

Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on portfolio demonstration through the company website (ombra.world), Instagram, LinkedIn, Behance, and earned media coverage in TPI Magazine, Elle Decor, DJ Mag Italy, and I-D Vice Italy. The company is privately held, founder-led (Lorenzo De Pascalis as Creative Director, Giulia De Paoli as Executive Producer), with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors. There is no public pricing, no disclosed headcount, and no disclosed revenue figure.
