KUALA LUMPUR, 1 August 2019 – This month, Strongbow Apple Ciders celebrates its brand-new look with a unique project giving one drinking establishment a refreshing makeover; literally. Parts of S’Mores Plaza Arkadia are turned into an oasis, enveloping visitors with fauna and foliage injecting an energizing encounter courtesy of nature with Strongbow’s “Nature Takes Over” experience brings together celebrated florist Eunice Teo, terrarium architects MossBoss and nature artists Sputnik Forest Labs in producing creative immersions based on their disciplines from Thursday, 1st August to Sunday, 11th August 2019.
Intended to bring people and nature together in an exciting way, the space creators were presented with the challenge to express their interpretation of the brand’s proposition of “Refreshing by Nature”. The result: an experience that brings together fresh ideas and perspectives on how urbanites can reconnect with nature. Set in one of the city’s popular restaurants and bars, these works examine the relationship of nature and urban city life through different disciplines – and how these can coexist in synergy beautifully. In celebration of Strongbow Apple Ciders’ World’s No. 1 position, each installation also exemplifies hints of global influences.

Refreshing oneself through immersion with nature is not only a physically reenergizing effort but also a mentally rewarding exercise” said Pablo Chabot, Marketing Director of Heineken Malaysia Berhad. “As the world’s number one cider brand, Strongbow Apple Ciders is able to draw the best examples globally of how nature can interject with everyday surroundings and situations and take these observations in bringing fresh experiences to our consumers worldwide”.

The Space Between Us by Sputnik Forest Labs
This work is largely inspired by the book Sapiens by world-renown historian Yuval Noah Harari. Humans at time forget that they are part of nature. We grow, we reproduce, and we degenerate. This installation aims to bring people closer to nature by taking down the imagined border between both states of mind. A global perspective on life is examined through the symbiosis of cool architectural lines and a plethora of local and foreign species of plans. Sputnik Forest Labs invites visitors to get close and awaken their senses to reassure their very own existence.
