Bacardi TANG™

As part of a promotional launch for Bacardi TANG™, a revolutionary new green tea-based spirit, Berry Place collaborated with The Brand Union to design and produce over 200 branded lead crystal drinking glasses.

Picked from our network of trusted suppliers, Berry Place worked closely with one of the few remaining hand-made lead crystal manufacturers in the UK to produce the bespoke glasses. Leaf patterns were engraved around the sides, conveying the drink’s green tea origins, with the Bacardi TANG™ logo prominently displayed at the base.

Produced in France and positioned towards the Chinese market, the limited-edition spirit derives from the Tang dynasty, representing a time of great accomplishment and innovation for China.

MASS OF TIME

"Mass of Time,” is a beautiful and original conceptual instrument that lets you ‘touch’ and ‘feel’ time as solid matter.

Commissioned by Clarks and The Halo Trust, designed by Kacper Hamilton Studio and produced by Berry Place, the innovative and unusual “Mass of Time” timepiece has recently finished a global tour of exhibitions (Frieze NY, Design Shanghai and Milan’s Salone del Mobile), with all proceeds from its upcoming auction going to The Halo Trust charity, a UK-based organisation committed to removing "explosive remnants of war” (unexploded ordnance) from communities around the world.

"Mass of Time" weighs predefined periods of time using a set of scales and a sand timer. Each machined aluminium weight allows one to measure three, five or ten minutes. The process starts with a chosen weight/time placed on one side of the scales, the timer is then set in motion by turning the stopcock, allowing the sand to flow into the brass bowl. When the needle is balanced, the designated time has elapsed.

The piece comes presented in a custom made flight case, divided into neatly separated components.

Pepsi #TheCherryRooms

Visit 133 Bethnal Green Road this weekend and you’ll find what appears to be a small unassuming soda shop.

…Except it’s not.

A gastronomical adventure awaits, as part of a collaboration between Pepsi Max Cherry, The Robin Collective and Berry Place.

It begins as soon as you crawl through a small hole in the wall, which leads to a white room, where guests are invited to suit up in white waterproofs, goggles and umbrellas. Move past the plastic curtains and you’ll find yourself on a bridge with cherry rain falling from above, thankful for the waterproofs. Winding through the ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-esque’ scenery, you’ll meet the UK’s first edible cherry tree, molecular mocktails from leading mixologists and a cherry smoke cannon that blows cherry-flavoured smoke rings.

As part of the experiential Pepsi Max Cherry campaign, Berry Place built and set up all the rooms, including the rain room, tree, swing, stalagmites and vortex cannon.

More information on #TheCherryRooms can be found here, or better yet visit in person this weekend - it’s free!

Cointreau ‘Fizz’ Window at Selfridges

The stunning 1920s Parisian ‘dressing room’ scene was prominently displayed at Selfridges, in the window adjacent to the main entrance, to promote the new and zesty Cointreau ‘FIZZ’.

Created and installed by Berry Place, the window display included a number of custom vintage models, including the bespoke furniture, bags and copper piping, used throughout the set.

Dom Pérignon Mysterious Forest Window

Following previous Dom Pérignon plinth and ‘Cocoonase’ displays, Berry Place recently created a set for Selfridges Oxford Street window to showcase Dutch fashion designer Iris Van Herpen’s intriguing ‘Metamorphosis’ dress for Dom Pérignon.

A stylistic fantasy woodland scene was assembled from multiple life size prop trees, with shorter stump like plinths illuminating the champagne bottles presented upon them.

Finished in black with green up-lighting, it evokes Iris Van Herpen’s mystique signature look, with a twist of esoteric darkness.

As part of the ‘Power of Creation’ project, the ‘metamorphosis’ concept refers to the chronological re-invention of Dom Pérignon, selectively re-emerging periodically in the form of a new vintage.

The association between Iris van Herpen and Dom Pérignon succeeds a number of former collaborations with prominent contemporary artists, including David Lynch, who designed the packaging for vintage limited editions in 2013.

'Metamorphosis' celebrates the first release of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2004 drawing to a close and marks the introduction of the second, called the P2-2004.

Information Age Gallery at the Science Museum

You can now explore over 200 years of invention and innovation in the evolution of communication and information technologies, as part of the Science Museum’s new 'Information Age: Six Networks that Changed Our World’ gallery.

Working in collaboration with Beck Interiors, Clay Interactive and the Science Museum, Berry Place designed and engineered seven interactive replicas for the new gallery, to illustrate the operation of some of the innovative equipment that changed the way information was communicated forever.

Granted access to the genuine objects in the Science Museum archives, the team at Berry Place measured and photographed each item and translated the data into 3D CAD models to incorporate the interactive element of each display. To ensure robustness and durability, each model was machined from solid aluminium before powder-coating or anodising for a tough finish.

The working models included the ‘Baudot Keyboard, Carbon Microphone, Card Punch Machine, Crystal Radio, Dial Telephone, Double Needle Telegraph and Morse Key Tapper’.

Berry Place also created a working replica of an iconic 1950’s ‘Bush tv22’ television set which continually screens the Queen’s 1953 Coronation within the Information Age gallery.

After watching her own Coronation on the television, the Queen officially opened the new gallery with her first ever tweet “It is a pleasure to open the Information Age exhibition today at the @ScienceMuseum and I hope people will enjoy visiting. Elizabeth R."

Aberfeldy Whisky Presentation Cases

In collaboration with Drink Works for Dewar’s Aberfeldy, Berry Place created eight elegant presentation cases and stopper inserts for the exclusive, and very rare 28 year old Whisky.

The splendidly decorated decanters adorned with 22 carat gold (developed by Drinks Works), were housed within luxurious piano black cases with black-nickel plated panel lining to the interior. A subtle filigree ornamentation emulating that found on the decanter, and gold accents to the front of the doors completed the branding. 

Encapsulated within the ornate decanter stopper was a custom insert featuring several real gold nuggets, hand panned from the Aberfeldy and Loch Tay region in Scotland.

Upon unveiling at the launch event of Duty Free Singapore – Masters of Wine & Spirits, all eight had sold within 3 hours, despite retailing at $5,000, three of them sold by the catalogue image alone.
