Museo Lavazza Universo

Luigi Lavazza S.p.A.

Turin (IT)

2018

In 2018, the Italian coffee manufacturer Lavazza opened its new headquarters "Nuvola Lavazza", literally “Cloud Lavazza”, in the centre of Turin. We created the audio-visual centrepiece "universo Lavazza" for RAA London, which incorporates the theme of the cloud, and plays on the associated ideas of movement and reflection, transparency and also the dimension of time.

About

The universo Lavazza is a room within a room, created by hanging a semi-transparent curtain woven from thousands of filigree threads, which together act as a projection surface. This “room” is illuminated from both sides and can be experienced from within the room itself or from the outside. Visitors are invited to move the curtain by touching or walking through it, thus increasing the dynamics of the moving projection, which has the effect of a light sculpture from the outside.

Inside the room, the projections tell of coffee stations and rituals, of the milestones of the Lavazza company and of its awareness of innovation and aesthetics. The centrepiece of the room is an oval interactive table which serves as a meeting point for people to come together and communicate with each other. At the same time, it is an interactive surface that can be used to control the sequence of the 360° projection.
