RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Omdesign was inspired by the origin and evolution of the brand, as well as the characteristics of this natural mineral water and by the magnificent park where Pedras Experience is situated. For that reason, Omdesign opted to transpose to this space all the essence of Pedras, the cycle of this unique water and the history told by their visitors and employees, both former or actual.
CHALLENGE: The main challenge to Omdesign was to compile the evolution of Pedras and the special aspects of this water and this place in a unique, sensorial and interactive museum, able to capture the attention of visitors with different ages. So, were recreated former scenarios of various times, such as a spa, a lab and a King bedroom of the end of 19th century, and interactive areas, showing the evolution of the advertising of Pedras.
