KLEENEX: GIANT LED TISSUE BOX
To celebrate 90 years of the Kleenex brand and a unique collaboration with well-known style icon Isaac Mizrahi, National Experiential engineered and designed a twelve-foot tall, fully interactive LED Kleenex Brand tissue box. The LED box was staged in the legendary Vanderbilt Hall and featured 90 years of Kleenex designs rotating on the screens, giving a glimpse at the rich design history of the brand. Accompanying the LED tissue box were four customs kiosks that provided consumers with one-to-one engagement. The kiosks allowed consumers to choose their favorite designs and then see them instantly on the twelve-foot tall LED tissue box.
