<h1>Products as Rock Stars</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.fusionbrands.com/" target="_blank">Visit the site.</a></p>
<h3>Challenge:</h3>
<p>Fusionbrands designs innovative cooking utensils for the modern era. From vertical ice cube trays to wearable cooking tongs, their products stand apart from the competition.</p>
<p>Fusionbrands called on Armchair to <b>translate the personality of these kitchen supplies into a website</b>. In an overpopulated category, fusionbrands.com would have to establish the brand and <b>educate consumers on how to use the products</b>.</p>
<p>Armchair took on the task of transforming a large amount of information into an enjoyable online shopping experience, ultimately making the enigmatic “Food Loop” and “Ice Orb” household objects.</p>
<h3>Solution:</h3>
<p>To Armchair, the Fusionbrands products teemed with life: Finger Tongs were birds; Poach Pods were canoes. Our imaginations conceived of a creative site that would capture the products’ personality and playfulness.</p>
<p><b>We created a line-up of full-screen, high-quality videos as the stage on which Fusionbrands utensils could perform</b>. While the tools acted out their functions to custom music, site visitors would not only be entertained by the products; they would learn how to use them.</p>
<p>In addition, Armchair developed an overall brand system for the Fusionbrands line as well as a package design for the Ice Orb.</p>
<h3>Results:</h3>
<p>The website <b>established Fusionbrands products as rock stars among kitchen tools</b>. It brought the utensils to life and captured customers’ imaginations, leading directly to profits.</p>
<p>Site visitors experienced culinary tools in a completely new way, gaining a clear understanding of Fusionbrands’ unique personality as well as their products’ practical functions.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[With the launch of reframe, independent films are "freed from the shelves." ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re happy to announce the launch of <a href="http://reframecollection.org" target="_blank">reframe</a>, a benevolent project with the Tribeca Film Institute dedicated to the preservation of rare independent and alternative films. The goal of reframe, in their words,</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230; is to help individual filmmakers, distributors, archives, libraries and other media owners to digitize and sell their work using the internet, and to become a one-stop location for anyone seeking these films.</p></blockquote>
<p>Armchair designed this unique ecommerce discovery engine as well as reframe&#8217;s brand identity.</p>
