Overview

Execution

• The creative strategic solution: We wanted the Robert Harris coffee moment to become synonymous with inspiration.

We set about inspiring New Zealanders with a series of inspirational coffee break moments using the humble coffee napkin.• How media contributed to the outcome: Robert Harris Outdoor Gallery of Coffee Napkin Art. A street-level art gallery in bus shelters exhibited 30 original artworks from ten Kiwi artists who transformed the humble paper coffee napkin into art installations.Turning a cluster of bus shelters into an art exhibition inspired commuters where they least expected it, giving them surprisingly intimate and concentrated exposure to multiple works of coffee napkin art.Only bus shelters at central CBD hubs could have created this art gallery experience.
