Fueled by the success of the 2022 Art Basel event led for D’USSÉ®, we wanted to push the experiential envelope. But with so many activations vying for attendance and coverage, how can you convince VIPs, celebrities and the press to spend Friday evening with D’USSÉ? By architecting a brand led event that was an immersive expression of music, style and luxury infused with culture, art and tech. At a beachside resort that culminated with an electrifying performance by rapper Offset.

With an art and music aesthetic the “D’USSÉ Stereo Step & Repeat Barrel Wall” was a contextually interpretation of a key brand intrinsic, the years-long aging process in dry and humid cellars.

Surprise & Delight VIP serve, a barrel top from the wall opened to reveal a signature Magic City cocktail in a single serve replica D’USSÉ bottle.

Interactive mood wall created for an engaging and interactive touchpoint, movements were captured by a kInetic camera and projected as colorful shadows. Glowing dancers entertained guests as they wove through the crowd.
