The Macallan, with Rebel & Soul & FutureLabs · The Macallan Experience · Raffles Hotel, Singapore
'Distillation', the interactive kinetic copper sculpture at the heart of The Macallan Experience
The collaboration

Rebel & Soul engaged MBD to help bring The Macallan Experience alive at Raffles Hotel: a multi-award-winning customer-acquisition campaign that used “Whisky Worthy Stories” to turn non-whisky drinkers into single-malt lovers.

Working to Rebel & Soul's vision, we helped realise the ultimate expression of The Macallan's remarkable single malt at one of Singapore's most famous icons. And to bring its kinetic centrepiece, ‘Distillation’, alive, MBD enlisted its partner FutureLabs, engineering an interactive sculpture of suspended copper that moves like whisky itself.

Inside the experience.
The kinetic centrepiece
‘Distillation’, brought alive by FutureLabs.

To bring the kinetic experience alive, MBD enlisted its partner FutureLabs to engineer ‘Distillation’: an interactive sculpture of suspended copper that moves like whisky in the glass. From concept and CAD, to rig, build and hand-finished copper, FutureLabs made it the beating heart of the experience.
