David Stine Furniture, a maker of sustainable furniture made of locally grown hardwoods, hosts a Client Appreciation party at their farm in Dow, Illinois each year. The company commemorated its 25th Anniversary in 2022, so this year’s party celebrated their long-term partnerships with design firms, tastemakers, and industry clients.
As a brand experience partner of David Stine Furniture, Arcturis contributed to the celebration by creating a fully immersive branded “tiki bar” experience. A twist on the Arcturis brand name, we developed the concept of the “Arctiki” bar, and donned the catchline, “A Midwestern Oasis.” We created a brand identity for the pop-up that married midcentury Hawaiian tiki bar vibes with the contemporary and minimal Arcturis brand identity. The design layered the Arcturis brand palette and sleek, minimal design aesthetic with vintage, nostalgic “beach shack” typography and illustrations.
The brand experience architectural element manifested as a repurposed, vintage tiki bar hangout with a fresh coat of white paint. Adding the layers of branded signage, printed menus, tropical greenery, branded barware, the Arctiki Bar became a fully immersive midwestern, tropical oasis encircled in corn and plaid.
