STUBBORN® Craft Fountain

Product Design - Concept | Commissioner: PepsiCo | Creator: PepsiCo

This fountain is designed specifically for STUBBORN SODA®, which is all about doing things the right way, even if it is the hard way – because it tastes better. STUBBORN® Craft Fountain is a sleek, modern machine that celebrates craft and heritage without being retro and nostalgic. The design language translates brand values like quality and craftsmanship in its use of colors, materials and finishes. Visual cues of gleaming steel and dark wood reference a commitment to artisanal processes. The main focus point in the consumer journey is using elegant levers to manually dispense soda, giving them a pleasant experience that sets the STUBBORN brand apart and reinforces its ethos.

At this immersive, sensorial experience, guests saw, smelled, tasted, touched and heard how PepsiCo is shaping the future of design and culture itself. Design is the connecting point for popular culture, so PepsiCo launches new projects through the application of design thinking to the mediums of music, art, fashion and technology. Mix It Up creates meaningful conversations with the audience–a place to test out new concepts and get real-time feedback from those who attend and are able to hear what they are intrigued or inspired by. Successful exhibits at Milan Design Week are heralded by media outlets and challenge the whole of the design community to think even further outside of the box to deliver never seen before products, brands and experiences. The success of Mix It Up at Milan Design Week 2016 solidified the notion that the PepsiCo portfolio is more than food, beverage, and packaging – it's home to engaging experiences and lifestyle brands.
