CHALLENGE

To create a contemporary, immersive experience for Bvlgari Kaleidos at Tokyo’s National Art Center, transforming archival campaigns into an interactive digital narrative honoring the brand’s heritage.

SOLUTION

The Wonder Gem is an immersive room with a large circular projection activated by sensors and six wall screens, transforming Bvlgari's advertising heritage into an interactive experience.

IMPACT

The installation attracted thousands of visitors to a multisensory experience that celebrated Bvlgari's advertising not only as a form of communication, but also as an art form.

The Wonder Gem transforms Bvlgari’s visual heritage into a dynamic and engaging experience. First, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the brand’s historic campaigns, studying their themes, compositions, and color palettes. Then, we developed an interactive journey that presents the brand’s legacy as a living, evolving story. The installation is part of Bvlgari Kaleidos: Colors, Cultures, and Crafts, the brand’s largest exhibition ever held in Japan. It was designed by the Japanese studio SANAA and the Italian collective Formafantasma. For this project, we collaborated with Immersive Inc., a Tokyo-based company.

Discover the experience

The Wonder Gem invites visitors into an immersive kaleidoscope. At its center is a large, rounded projection that is activated by visitor presence and triggers one of four distinct animations, each with its own rhythm and atmosphere. This central interaction is complemented by a curated sound design featuring layered chimes and effects that echo the objects and themes of the campaigns. Six small, wall-mounted screens offer a more intimate exploration, presenting dynamic interpretations of twelve iconic campaigns and transforming classic ads into miniature animated worlds.

The video content was produced using a combination of CGI/3D techniques and AI tools. The Wonder Gem is an exploration of advertising as a creative medium and a celebration of Bvlgari’s ability to translate color, emotion, and narrative into visual art.
