SUPERBIEN, a creative studio that develops art and commissioned projects for brands and organisations around the world, has revealed details of its second partnership with Ephemera Group to create a new innovative, immersive restaurant named Jungle Palace.
The project follows the success of Under the Sea, the firm’s first project with Ephemera Group which created an immersive diner at a secret location within MK2 Bibliothèque in Paris.
“It is an honor to participate in the development of yet another memorable dining Parisian immersive experience at Ephemera’s side, and we look forward to future collaborations,” says SUPERBIEN.
Blurring boundaries
SUPERBIEN has been a global leader in unique, multimedia experience production for more than 14 years. The studio provides immersive experiences which include learning and discovery elements by combining physical and digital touchpoints with art and innovative technologies. The team specialises in blurring the boundaries between the physical and digital in real-time, from the small square of a smartphone to the most complicated and expansive canvas or activation.
With Jungle Palace, Ephemera has developed a unique restaurant which is accessible and enticing – this time nestled deep in the jungle. The restaurant, located on rue de la Fidélité in Paris’ 10th arrondissement, combines art deco décor with luxurious and untamed greenery.
During dinner, guests are surrounded by a diverse range of animals and immersed in a jungle experience from dawn to dusk. Night falls as they finish their meal and head back home, and they transition from a dreamlike experience to a blissful sleep.
Stalks separate to show a tiger lounging in the forest, quietly observing the diners; vegetation becomes lush and takes over, animals prowl around, and birds soar overhead.
Guests encounter a life-sized elephant concealed in the jungle, and then during dinner, experience a tropical storm. The jungle briefly falls away to showcase the venue’s historical interiors, before returning diners to the depths of the rainforest.
