A whale makes its global debut
KAROLINE GEES . May 20, 2025
An airy space turns into an event location at get connected
Every year in early summer, experts in global trade and logistics come together at AEB's headquarters for “get connected”. As the name suggests, the event is a place for interaction and connection. The perfect occasion to unveil the whale as a creative airy space.
New perspectives for creativity
The structure filled the entire atrium. Its windows provided completely new perspectives on a familiar building. With a relaxed lounge in the tail fin and a creative station in the high, hollow belly of the whale, it already came very close to its future purpose as a mobile workshop space.
The get connected visitors were invited to leave their creative mark on a long piece of paper inside the whale, so that the 2025 motto “KEEP” emerged by means many artistic contributions. This motto also fits wonderfully to the purpose of the whale. Not only did it make its debut at get connected 2025, it will now keep traveling across Germany and perhaps even beyond to serve as a creative refuge for children and adolescents.
Would you like to host the whale at your organization or initiative?
