| DESIGN NAME: Find Your Lucky Star PRIMARY FUNCTION: Restaurant pop-up installation INSPIRATION: How do we make our dreams come true? Sometimes we just have to see a little differently. We can change perceptions by the simple act of turning the world around us upside down. It is then we can see and feel the world afresh and with a new perspective. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A restaurant pop up installation for Marriott hotel group. A custom made minimalist/ brutalist architectural structure that houses an otherworldly upside down printed landscape on the interior. It changes over a period of two hours intto a glittering projected star field film. This transformative process in turn affects the diners sense of perception and palate. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: As guests enter the installation and sit down to dine, they are taken on a journey where they are placed in a haptic transformative environment. Using a well times sequence of sound design and light stimulation the environment combined with a strategically timed, 7 course meal all contributed to triggering a heightened sense of seeing/tasting/heari PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in December 2017 in and finished in January 2018 in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The structure was custom made and was 3500mm x 7000 mm from recyclable particle board. The 6 metre long mirror top table was custom designed for the space, as was the upside down landscape wall paper, sound track and star field film. The 10 Projectors were that were used were Epson PowerLite Pro Z8455WU NL SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 6500 mm x 3500mm x 5000mm TAGS: Pop-up / Installation / Dining / Experiential RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Flavour isn't as straightforward as the tongue and nose suggest. Taste perception depends not only on the integration of several sensory inputs associated with the food or drink itself, but also on the attributes of the environment in which the food is consumed. The multi-sensory nature of what we consider 'flavour' is undoubtedly underpinned by complex central and peripheral interactions. The objective was to characterise a new form of guest interaction and satisfaction within the environment. Methodology: This installation was infused with elements that would transform and trigger different sensory perceptions of the guests through out the two hour dinner seating. Extensive research before this project on the effects of transformative effects of colour, environment, sound, and movement was conducted. 3D models and maquettes were constructed with the chef and preliminary taste testings conducted to test the thesis. This in turn resulted in the finished structure in which the guests were taken on a haptic culinary journey that challenged their expectations and memory, resulting in a transformative sensory experience. By the end of the 2 hour process the environment has transformed from landscape to star field, and as shooting stars arc through out the space, guests are invited to find their “lucky star”. To see and feel new possibilities. CHALLENGE: The challenges were to clarify a seamless “believable” space for the guests inside the installation. They had to feel as if the environment around them was happening organically. Thus the technical challenges were considerable in regards to concealing all of the hardware of 10 projectors and numerous computers driving the installation.
