ART OF REST
That idea became the foundation for our collaboration with LACMA (the Los Angeles County Museum of Art); a series of limited-edition capsules translating iconic artworks into wearable silk.
Each release centers on a singular visual voice. From the immersive atmosphere of Claude Monet’s Water Lilies to the graphic precision of Piet Mondrian and the vibrant contemporary work of artists like Kristen Giorgi.
Paintings move from canvas to silk. And with every drop, there’s the gentle reminder that how we rest is not a mere afterthought, but something worthy of the same reverence we give great art.
KEY LINES
There’s bedding,
then there’s Quintessential.
10 years in the making,
10 seconds to fall asleep.
Quintessential by name.
Essential by nature.
We spent 10 years dreaming up
new Quintessential.
We just broke the soft scale.
Strong launches rarely rely on one idea; they rely on pillars. Here, I expanded the narrative from something aspirational, to substantiated, connecting the emotional promise to tangible innovation. Like: TENCEL™ Micro, responsible sourcing, engineered durability. It’s a connective move, turning softness into credibility, and credibility into long-term brand equity.
Before a product becomes widely available, it has to become wanted. The early access phase positioned Quintessential as something to gain entry to, not simply purchase. By rewarding our most engaged audiences first, the campaign transformed community into cachet; strengthening retention while heightening demand ahead of the full reveal.

THE CAMPAIGN IRL
We suspended a cascading swath of the actual Quintessential fabric from the ceiling as the literal invitation to reach out and feel how soft it is. I created the Touch and Tell prompts and the Soft Scale, guiding guests to articulate their first impressions in their own words. Those reactions weren’t just part of the experience; they became the heart of the campaign, fueling digital ads, social content, and future messaging. It was experiential marketing as language development, crafting the experience on-site and then the story that carried beyond it.
The real work began after launch. Swatches turned curiosity into conversion. Expanded messaging around pillowcases and bundles built depth. And continued storytelling positioned bedding not as an addition, but as a natural extension of who the brand already is, and where it’s heading.
