Airbnb: Merlot: 15

Mar 2023

Airbnb presents Merlot: 15, an animated 3D diorama that centres on a quiet, rain-streaked living room interior. The short-form piece adopts a minimalist approach, utilising 3D render/CGI techniques to transform a domestic setting through the introduction of a deep red liquid that gradually saturates the environment. Featuring sound design by Barking Owl, the project operates within the travel and hospitality sector, leaning into a cinematic aesthetic to convey its concept. The animation emphasises a controlled, futuristic visual style as the liquid fills the cross-section of the room.
