Judges comments
“The Comvita Wellness Lab is a multi sensory experience designed to raise awareness of the importance of bees to our environment. A great experiential design solution. It is a strong execution of a concept in response to the client and the importance of bees — a topic that has far-reaching implications on the future of our planet. Well done.”
The Good Design Awards Jury 2022
Comvita Wellness Lab
“Eye-catching beautiful use of colour through the space, infusing nature-inspired elements and honey tones, resulting in a harmonious fusion of history and innovation, exemplifying Comvita's journey from local origins to a dynamic global presence..”
Best Design Spatial Jury 2023

“It's easy to see the great amount of animation and sensory environmental augmentation effort that has gone into the Comvita Mixed Reality Honey Tasting experience. Including the blending animation of flying into a hive with live action of bees within the hive; something we could never experience otherwise. One aspect that really struck us was the creative use of visuals to enhance what people would be tasting in their honey samples. Nice work.”
The Good Design Awards Jury 2022
Comvita Mixed Reality Honey Tasting
“This sumptuous, sensory space brings a gallery and spa experience to the retail domain through a combination of seduction and education. Fully engaging with a wide range of senses, the Comvita Wellness Lab succeeds in developing the brand in unexpected ways, where the focus is on the product rather than on sales. A unique, immersive tasting and multisensory experience delivered from the perspective of a bee – without being reduced to a gimmick – is designed to bring us closer to nature and help us fall in love with bees again. As much thought has been given to the online retail experience as to the in-store purchase. It is hardly surprising that this exceptional project, with its golden curves and glowing forms, is likely to be used as a prototype for the brand and rolled out internationally.”
New Zealand Interior Awards Jury 2021
Comvita Wellness Lab
“This palette brings a calm and soothing ambience, wholesomely earthy and perfectly aligned to the product category. The architecture and colour work in tandem to elevate the sense of wellness. Fashion colours are cleverly infused in places that can be easily updated in the future, providing scope for the palette to evolve with touches of new colour trends.”
