The stage design featured a two-level structure built from Layher scaffolding with integrated LED screens, radial trusses fitted with lighting fixtures, and a podium with RGB lighting. A distinctive visual element was a multi-level radial arch featuring a traditional Ukrainian paper-cutting (vytynanka) pattern and RGB illumination. The stage lighting was further enhanced by a large number of powerful moving-head spotlights.

According to stage directors Lesia Podolianko and Illia Osiadlyi, one of the key visual elements of the technological stage design was the use of vytynanka artworks by Ukrainian artist Anzhela Yurkivska. The concept was based on the image of a vytynanka composed of many different patterns brought together into a single composition. In this way, traditional Ukrainian decorative art was combined with contemporary stage design and lighting solutions.
