Indoor Creatures

The Melon

Create an ephemeral, narrative-driven and itinerant installation around QYOS — Actiu’s new acoustic pod.
The experience would premiere at Madrid Design Festival, then travel to Clerkenwell Design Week, Paris, Dubai, and beyond.
The goal: to position QYOS not just as a product, but as a piece of micro-architecture that actively facilitates wellbeing indoors.
A moving installation designed to spark stillness, presence, and reflection — wherever it lands.

What We Cracked

We spend 90% of our lives indoors.
Most people don’t notice it.
But that overlooked truth says everything about how we live, work, and connect with ourselves and others.

This insight became our entry point:
If we are all indoor creatures, shouldn’t our spaces care for us?
We reframed QYOS from a functional object into an emotional container. Not just a pod, but a place for quiet. For questioning. For wellbeing.

The Juice

An immersive, emotional installation that travels light — and lands deep.
We transformed QYOS into a story you could step inside.
Each destination — from Madrid to Dubai — offered visitors a pause from the noise,
inviting them to rethink their relationship with space and stillness.

Subtle, sensory and universally relatable, the experience redefined the product as architectural empathy.

The Flavor

Universal. Poetic. Quietly radical.
Welcome Indoor Creatures reframed QYOS as a cultural statement about wellbeing, not just a workspace solution.
By speaking to a shared human truth, the project positioned Actiu as a brand willing to lead meaningful conversations — not just launch products.

Because when micro-architecture creates macro-awareness, design becomes movement.
