2019
[DATE] Jan–Mar 2019
[TEAM] Amelia Vilaplana, Jennifer Yang, Eunbi Kim, Maria Rugeles
[CLIENT] Selosse (Hypothetical Client)
[CHALLENGE]
As part of its offer the champagne brand creates exclusive dinners. Our task is to create a narrative and set-design concept for a full luxury dining experience for a small group of eight diners.
[SOULUTION / NARRATIVE]
Inspired by the eerie narrative of Cortazar’s tale House Taken Over, participants experience the progression of an unidentifiable force progressively transforming the house. We incorporate various works from contemporary critics of Capitalism(as Hyperobjects, Ecofeminist, awareness of the end of the world). Through a dynamic installations, environmental catastrophe is depicted with various metaphors that Selosse's innovation mitigate
[OUTPUT]
Story based dining experience plan (beam projection, smoke membrane, light installation)
[CONCEPT]
"THE LAST DINNER ON EARTH"
Through an eerie narrative and a thrilling dining experience,
we wish to encourage guests to explore how their actions and choices have a great impact in the environment and climate changes
