Production Technology

The Home for Music Fans employed sustainable, renewable materials with low environmental impact, aiming to create a comfortable venue full of seaside charm for fans to enjoy music. The lightweight steel frame, combined with premium materials and exquisite craftsmanship, ensured safety and durability. Additionally, nontoxic wall paints and curtain fabrics that contain low volatile organic compounds were utilized, contributing to a fresh and safe environment.

Design Challenge

The challenge was achieving a unity of the brand and the festival. This project subtly married the brand characteristics with the festival culture. The posters echoed the key visual of the festival through visual elements like colors and shapes. The offline stage and the Home for Music Fans were differentiated, with the former for quick experience while the latter for slow consumption. Its combination with the live stream studio provided a seamless experience across online and offline settings.

Research

2024 Aranya Xiami Music and Arts Festival attracted numerous young audiences valuing fashion and quality, aligning closely with the target consumer of Tmall Heybox. The project, taking the festival as the medium, integrated the brand into a cultural landmark, with the Home for Music Fans introducing five major brands for traffic sharing, resulting in great promotional effects both online and offline. It built a marketing loop of product experience, emotional resonance and social sharing.

Inspiration

The iconic cube of Tmall Heybox was transformed into a searchlight. Vivid colors against a black background mimicked a seaside sunset. Geometric blocks and audio waveform brought to mind rhythmic music, and reflections helped create a seaside scenario. The Home for Music Fans, inspired by the Aranya Church, featured a top angle symbolizing upward growth. It extended along the coastline, with exhibition areas corresponding to life moments, echoing the slogan of life is about living a few moments.

Project Duration

The project was implemented in Aranya from August 30, 2024, to September 1, 2024.

Operation Flow

Offline theme exhibition areas with multisensory immersive experience enabled audiences to experience the products of certain brands and participate in music related games through interactive installations.
Thanks to full process interactive live stream, audiences could virtually tour exhibition areas, watch new product launches, and appreciate performances. This broke the physical limitations of traditional offline activities, ensuring real time online interaction between brands and audiences.
