Challenge:
Create a booth experience that behaves as an architectural canvas to showcase the Fuse identity, while nurturing an environment where conversations of discovery and possibility would freely unfold.

Solution:
Admittedly influenced by the futurist architecture and design prevalent in the 1960s, I sought to provide a space that would be perceived less like a destination and more as a waypoint of a larger journey. I wanted something more akin to the experience of a departure lounge, featuring comfortable, dynamic seating; a concierge and reception desk; and a refreshments bar and tender.

The centerpiece of the booth, designed to be informative as well as entertaining, was the enveloping wall/ceiling video board. The vertical surface played a combination of statistics, customer testimonials, and the Fuse launch video. The ceiling featured an ambient, Ken Burns paced slideshow of the visual influences that were the foundation of the Fuse logo. The video was on a 20-minute loop so the casual viewer wouldn't experience monotony.
