In June 2022, we collaborated with Someday Studios to design and fabricate a custom vending machine for Almighty — New Zealand’s leading sparkling water company and longtime friends of the Department of Arts. The activation was part of a wider push to promote the launch of Almighty Active, a caffeinated sparkling water aimed at people who wanted a boost without coffee. The unit needed to stand out in public spaces, speak to the brand’s clean and progressive aesthetic, and be flexible enough to travel around the country and beyond.
