At the crossroads of craftsmanship and brand experience, Graffeur Paris Dubai collaborated with Nespresso for an exclusive corporate event held in one of Dubai’s most prestigious venues. During this private gathering, designed for key business partners and executives, our team delivered a refined activation: engraving personalized names on stainless steel mugs. This premium touch elevated the event’s atmosphere, combining precision, artistry, and innovation — perfectly aligned with Nespresso’s image of excellence.
Unlike traditional painting or hand-lettering, engraving offers a distinctive aesthetic — permanent, tactile, and sophisticated. Our artists used precision engraving tools to etch each participant’s name in a refined metallic finish, creating a bespoke keepsake that reflected the brand’s modern and sustainable DNA. This type of activation not only stands out visually but also reinforces the sense of exclusivity associated with high-end corporate events. Similar techniques were showcased in our Nescafé corporate event in Dubai and Montblanc luxury activations.
From guest arrival to final handover, every stage of the experience was meticulously planned. A dedicated hostess team collected engraving preferences using custom-designed cards, allowing each guest to choose their name and engraving style. Our artists then executed the personalization live, ensuring each mug was crafted to perfection. In less than two hours, dozens of personalized mugs were engraved, packed in branded boxes, and presented as elegant gifts — a true testament to efficiency and precision under pressure.
In Dubai’s fast-evolving corporate landscape, brands increasingly seek activations that deliver emotional impact and brand differentiation. Personalized engraving experiences create a strong sense of ownership and connection among participants, transforming a standard corporate event into a moment of artistry and interaction. Whether for product launches, leadership conferences, or private networking evenings, these activations redefine how companies express gratitude and prestige toward their guests. Comparable experiences were also designed for Samsonite and Lionsgate Cannes.
Each collaboration we undertake in Dubai combines artistic excellence and logistical precision. For Nespresso, the event’s success lay in its subtle blend of artistry and brand storytelling. Beyond the engraved mugs, guests experienced a moment of exchange — a dialogue between craftsmanship and innovation, mirroring Nespresso’s values. This kind of activation embodies the future of corporate events: creative, human, and unforgettable.
