The Design

About In Scene Merkevareopplevelsesdesign

In Scene er et merkevarefornyelsesprogram for et kaffemerke basert i Shanghai. Designet bruker teater som metafor og plasserer forbrukeren inne i scenen. Gaveesken har en trefoldet papirskulpturstruktur som åpnes som sceneteppe og måler omtrent 300 x 200 x 80 millimeter. Miljøvennlig papir og metallbeslag er brukt. En skannbar kode kobler esken til en kort personlighetstest som lager et kort for deling. Butikkene tilfører lys, duft og lyd for å utvide kaffeopplevelsen.

Production Technology: The gift box features a three-fold 3D paper sculpture structure, simulating stage curtains opening. Materials include eco-friendly paper and metal fittings. Interactive elements integrate mini-program H5 testing, social media UGC collection, and immersive spatial design (light, scent, sound). The visual system encompasses brand identity, color palette, graphic language, and dynamic motion graphics.
Design Challenge: The core challenge was balancing the brand’s deep historical assets with emotional engagement of contemporary young consumers. Solutions included creating a dramatic narrative framework that turns history into an interactive modern script, designing a role-playing mechanism for users to become active protagonists, and integrating online and offline touchpoints to ensure narrative continuity and immersive experience. This overcame the typical challenge of heritage brands lacking experiential and emotional resonance while considering social context, information availability, and technological feasibility.
Research: Type of Research: Market and user research. Research Objectives: Explore Shanghai coffee market trends, gift consumption motivations, and Gen Z cultural tourism behavior. Methodology: Desktop research and competitive analysis with consumer interviews and data analysis. Data Collection and Tools: Surveys, in-depth interviews, market data, and social media observation. Participants: Primarily Gen Z consumers and coffee enthusiasts. Results: Coffee consumption shifts from functional use to emotional and social experiences. Insights: Gift market emphasizes emotional connection and personal identity expression. Impact: Brands need to transform from traditional heritage image to immersive urban cultural IP, informing strategy, design, and marketing.
Inspiration: Inspired by Shanghai's Haipai culture, coffee heritage, and urban memory, the brand traces its origins back to 1935 as a witness to the city's evolving coffee scene. Using theatre as a metaphor, the design positions consumers as protagonists within the coffee experience, inviting them to step into the scene and reconnect with the emotional texture of the city.
Project Duration: The project concept was initiated in 2025, with conceptually planned implementation in Shanghai from March to May 2026.
Operation Flow: Users initiate a ritualized experience through the "My Scene in Shanghai" gift box, scanning a QR code to participate in the "Haipai Coffee Moments" personality test, generating personalized cards to share on social media. Offline, participants can visit immersive stores for light-and-shadow check-ins, read the Shanghai Coffee News mini-paper, and engage in pop-up activities, forming a closed-loop experience of unboxing, testing, checking in, sharing, and repurchasing.
