Branded Art Installations
Tupperware Brands Corp.
Tupperware is best known for unique, long-lasting, colorful products. Efforts to showcase those products had to be equally unique, and instill the same sense of timelessness. To accomplish this, award-winning regional artists were brought in to create Tupperware-inspired sculptures and artwork that would stand the test of time.

“A sunny walkway bridge connecting the main headquarters building with the adjacent US/Canada business unit’s offices, was selected as the perfect place for a display which connected the product with people. ”
Working with artist (and former Tupperware graphic designer), Victor Bokas, photos of current Tupperware corporate employees walking and holding Eco Bottles were turned into silhouettes, layered into a composition and cut out of acrylic panels. Varying levels of opacity interact with the daylight streaming through the windows, creating a sense of depth in the artwork and interesting plays of shadow on the floor.

Sculptor Doug Hays, who also created several sculptural benches for the campus gardens, helped bring to life the concept of creating a water fountain made out of Tupperware products. Fabricated using Eco Bottles and That’s-a-Bowls connected to a central “trunk” and “branches”, water flows through and pours out of the Eco Bottles, collects and then drips out of the bowls into the reservoir below.

The Eco Bottle was again used as inspiration for a branded water fountain feature located at the entrance of the US/Canada business unit’s building. Reverse images of the bottle, which is available in various sizes, were cut out of colorful, powder-coated metal “frames” that also hide the fountain’s pumps and piping. Undulating water screens installed inside the frames allow water to flow over them while light dances through, creating a lovely sound and visually striking welcome to employees and guests entering the building
