We began the creative process by distilling the word MOMENTS into three stages, building the idea around the unwrapping of a simple black box.

We used the box to chart the customer journey:
1) There is the stage of intrigue, when we are aware of an opportunity to be surprised.
2) Next comes the reveal - the moment when one encounters the product in a new way.
3) Finally comes affirmation, where the moment is captured and shared.

We designed the template of the structure based on the dimensions of the Nespresso Emblem and Monogram.

At the concept stage, we were greatly inspired by the Museum of Contemporary Art at Circular Quay, Sydney. Designing the pop-up cafe to sit in front of the building, and elevating coffee to the level of art.
We envisioned a moment when the sun sets behind the museum and the box comes alive with the faces of everyday Australians.

Throughout the process, we designed the experience as a window frame into a different world - where the hustle of everyday life suddenly slows down, and every customer is welcomed to explore the depth and heritage of Nespresso.
We used the existing Above-The-Line Campaign to influence our final outcome.

"Each guest was treated like a star, down to the smallest detail.
It's Nespresso, what else would one expect?"
