The Campaign

In order to promote the product promise “A new perspective on hotel rooms” of the Vitality Room of Swissôtel, an art installation featuring an optical illusion was constructed at Zurich main station on October 25, 2016, which allowed visitors to quite literally see things from a new perspective.

Creative Execution

Based on the scientific construction of the Ames room a distorted pop-up-room of 48 square metres was build for only one day. As a result of the optical illusion, a person standing in one corner appears to the observer to be a giant, while a person standing in the other corner appears to be a dwarf. In two months work, the room was accurately planned, crafted and designed with original furnishings from the Swiss design company Vitra.
