ArrowSpace

The story of ArrowSpace

The ArrowSpace story begins in 2007. Back then, the project was simply called "Rug'n'roll" - but the concept was the same: a robust drum carpet in full drum podium size with a smart, neat, editable, and rollable marking system.

The idea had already been on the drawing board for some time, but the problem was that the carpets available on the market did not work with Velcro. This was an issue because Velcro is the essential element in securing the small arrows and signs in the marking system.

However, at a gig in Sweden, there was already a carpet on the drum podium upon arrival. The carpet looked quite nice, so it was used that evening. Since this carpet actually passed the "Velcro test," the organizer was questioned to find out the origin - the manufacturer - of the carpet. Long story short: It turned out to be a Swedish manufacturer of car mats behind it. Contact was made, and the first drum carpets were ordered from the factory in Sweden.

Unfortunately, it turned out that these carpets were not very suitable for the Scandinavian climate. When the weather got cold, the carpets would not unroll - or, they would, but they would roll back up again. This caused the project to be shelved. But in 2022, another carpet manufacturer approached, and finally, the project was up and running again.

The new start had to be emphasized with a new name - and the name became ArrowSpace, referring to the many small arrows on the floor area and the full drum podium area.

After testing for over a year now on Danish concert stages and festivals, the carpet has been approved - and put into production.
