Dinner In The Sky by Quentin Jadoul
Dinner In The Sky, created from an idea by Belgian chef Quentin Jadoul, is for people who expect more from their restaurants than four concrete walls and a solid floor. Instead, diners perch around a massive table, which is suspended from a crane high up in the air. It sounds completely insane, but as the most unusual and entirely legal way of getting high over dinner, it is the new must-do experience for the super-rich and adventure-hungry who yearn for something a little more extreme at mealtimes.

Lateira by Rui Pereira
In honour to that delicious Portuguese Sardine, Rui Pereira has designed this ceramic.
Sardine conservation factories are an important part in the history of Matosinhos, a seaside town near Oporto, in the north of Portugal. Despite their reduced number nowadays, they have been linked to this city for more than a century. Lateira´s goal is to pay a tribute to this nearly extinct industry, by transforming a simple sardine-based meal into a luxurious banquet. Its shape is inspired in the floral pattern of the fisherman´s wives bandanas. It is made of white porcelain along with gold ink and has a glassy finishing.

Pepsi Mini Cans
The creative brief to launch the new 237ml Pepsi can was not only wise, but small. Printed on a document the size of a business card, it read: “Small is the new big.” BBDO faced a strategic imperative from its client: do not denigrate regular size Pepsi cans by talking about portion control. They needed another hook. The winning insight came from an observation by the creative team that a can this small could get lost in some pretty interesting places. And so a big idea was born. Like the serving size, the media and production budget of $300,000 was modest. The resulting ad campaign was a huge success and it was also Pepsi’s largest share gain of any new pack launch.
