A philosophy by Ilan Dray / Co-Authored by Amanda Lasser

What is Fusion Experience?

In such a connected world where we can instantly have everything at our fingertips, the user has become very disconnected from the digital experience as a whole. Fusion Experience invites you to change your mindset and to create holistic digital experiences that are more connected, with more benefits and incentives to leave the user wanting more.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou

This methodology has a strong impact for any growing business. On a personal level, it gives you the tools to think differently, to express yourself, to develop new communication skills, and to collaborate with others so you can maximize your potential, which will translate to developing and creating better interactions with your audience and future generations. It also allows you to empower your team with a scalable design thinking process, as well as other techniques to make your process even better.

FX 2021 / Yep! The book is also yellow on the inside … No joke! And it’s not planned to be an e-book!

The Fusion Experience Website

The discovery experience was popular back in the day, but unfortunately, these days everyone wants it yesterday. We see examples of this in relationships and social networks, from Tinder to instant stories on Instagram, or by creating some ephemeral rooms in Clubhouse. It reflects the consumerist era and capitalism to the extreme.

It’s an opportunity for a change!
A new philosophy needs to be introduced step by step in order to make it more accessible to everyone, and the concept of the website was based on this simple idea. We want you to visit the website and explore. To play with your curiosity, to interact, and to discover everyday a bit more of the hidden secrets, and to enjoy the seduction process.

The website for Fusion Experience is divided into different sections that invite you to see many use cases and projects that are gates into other worlds.
Most importantly, it will be so intriguing, that you’ll listen to a podcast or an interview, or read even more to enrich yourself and acquire additional information. It is an integral part of the experience, and it will leave you feeling inspired.

The Fusion Experience Business Cards

I still remember the day I received the metallic business card of Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple. How can you forget such a unique sensation from the cold contact of the card, which was in stark contrast to such a warm and nice person. Everything down to the last detail was styled simply to perfection.

Woz Experience is unique and so inspiring

My FX business card is made from the latest technology in print, and it’s more than just a business card. It is an invitation to connect, to brainstorm your ideas with me, and to just be in touch! The logo is laser cut onto a 3 millimeter thick metallic card, fit with a gold frame and embossed with an Italian pattern created by Hermès. All design decisions were about going far into the details to give the holder maximum pleasure and be even more intrigued.

Business cards are so passé! In this challenging Coronavirus time, most interactions are over Zoom video conference calls. So now, more than ever, when I do finally meet someone in person, I will give respect with a proper and unique business card!

FX Godfather ;)

The definition of Godfather is pretty cool actually:
“A man who is influential or pioneering in a movement or organization.”

The Fusion Experience Deluxe Box

I will always remember the book of Helmut Newton on the SUMO stand designed by Philipp Stark which comes inside a tailor-made box.

Thanks Helmut & Stark for inspiring me

When you receive the FX book in its dark box displaying the gold FX monogram, it will spark the feeling of finding a treasure! Inside this black matte box, inspired by Louis Vuitton, encases the yellow FX book. It’s like a light in the dark and a source of inspiration. The magnet closure system is smart, and the opening of the box feels like you just received a jewel. The monogram also appears inside, on satin matte paper, but bigger and laminated… Black on black, brilliant, subtle and elegant.

FX Deluxe Limited Edition / Only 500 copies will be produced and signed by the author

Your senses will be activated upon unboxing this gem. When your hands come into contact with the smooth fabric and velvet pad, it’s as if a diamond was fitted perfectly into its niche. After you lift the book out of the box, from a tailor-made satin ribbon, you will be submerged by the fragrance of Antaeus by Chanel to activate your sense of smell.

The first copies come with a special GOLD Stand for holding the book.

It is all about seduction, so let’s fuse!

From Microcosm to Macrocosm

The Fusion Experience Book

The book’s format is horizontal and panoramic. When you open it, it will give you an immersive experience like in the real world.
It includes 11 chapters and The Extra one that will inspire you forever.
The intermission is written by Amanda, in addition to a full chapter about the impact of FX in her life.
It is more than 100 pages, and a wonderful journey into my creative world, and the Fusion Experience philosophy.

Umberto AKA Toto… Chapeau!

The book includes some B2B and B2C Use cases, tools, tips, some unique workshop ideas, and of course the FX methodology. It is called a philosophy since it is an invitation to develop it in your own way and adapt it to your real needs. You will then become an FX expert, and be part of the FX family since it’s all about Fusion Experiences.

Thanks Lior Suchard for the inspiring quote!

Each chapter’s title is illustrated by an international artist to inspire you and invite you to discover and hopefully even interact with them.
Their artwork is alive and becomes them as music unveils your sense of hearing.
