welcome to the krug Antichambre

escape the madness to something private and exclusive; yet, so inclusive that it is open to anyone who happens to know about it.... the krug antichambre concept, proposed by ceft and company in 2008, is a place where old world luxury meets undeniably current tastes. the krug antichambre is a series of undisclosed pop up champagne bars that appear and disappear in cities like new york during the fashion week, miami during art basel, along with other dates in key capitals such as tokyo, paris and london.

Krug Cabinet: an exclusive members only community site designed by ceft and company

printed invitation for current krug elite as well as select mailing list guests join in this very special community

a few of the privileges include: meeting like-minded members from around the globe with similar interests and high expectations for the details that separate the good from the great, invitations to krug's pop-up anti-chambres - temporary champagne bars opened in undisclosed locations in key capitals during art auctions and fashion week.

the member site requires each participant to upload 6 of their most cherished items at a time and comment on others. each member learns of others through their cherished items, be it a scull from the Galapagos Islands or a vintage minute-repeater watch.

a portrait...

or a paperback book...

latest releases on krug vintages are shared first with cabinet members

the krug gatherings in tokyo, paris, new york and london bring together some of the members face-to-face for the very first time. others can only guess which face belongs to which object.

the calendar of event allows RSVP access to members online

exclusive content and interviews are premiered on the cabinet site before becoming available to the public.

each member upon approval can invite additional guests for membership approval

the site has the potential of becoming the first truly exclusive luxury hub for all of LVMH brands as online commerce becomes the central focus of global brands.

LVMH champagne krug: advertising campaign extensions and event proposals

in addition to the advertising campaign created for champagne krug, ceft and company developed ideas and venues to bring the unprecedented access of the marketing campaign to life. these extensions were aimed at expanding the luxury houses market, allowing an ongoing presence, without compromising the brands stature and character. the core idea was to reveal the private and exclusive world of krug that was, until now, only known to the very few.
