R3FUGE

GUNFIRE III

// FALL 2026 * STUDIO PROJECT * 5 WEEKS

// brief

Earth is dying. Reach III and 2 were sent to find a new home. Neither missions were successful. The vessel held but the crew did not.

This time will be successful. Reach 3 includes safeguards against mental strain.

R3FUGE is one of them. A gunfire tea set that maintains morale and health for the crew of an extended mission. A place of refuge and familiarity in a sea of unknown.

// ritual

Gunfire tea, a drink shared on a schedule that builds community. It’s been tested with time.

In the 1700s, navymen stationed aboard a vessel for months used the ritual to hold crew morale together.

Reach III uses the same one. A crew years from anything and with the weight of humanity on their backs, needs a reason to be in the same room and stay sane. The set is built to give them one.
