A pop up Mini Market for Lululemon

Following the successful launch of their 'Get Into It' campaign, Lululemon wanted to create a brand activation that would allow them to further promote their Align range in a way that directly engaged with their audience. This was done through a series of pop-up yoga events held in London, Munich and Berlin. Seed Marketing partnered with us on this project, where our role was designing the event space, which we then adapted across the three difference venues.

The intention of the event was to introduce guests to the 'Align' clothing range and then give them the opportunity to test out the products through a yoga event. Whilst yoga was the main activity, we wanted the experience to be more than just a class. We wanted to create a journey for guests where they were able to explore and discover these products for themselves.

MAKING THE SPACE ALIGN

The solution, was a multi space event, which began with guests entering a Lululemon 'mini-market'. This brightly coloured space, was a fantastical reimagining of the everyday spaces that the attendees in these three major cities experience. The store invited guests to browse the different product ranges at their own pace, with various interactive elements that directly referenced the campaign visuals of the 'Get Into It' advertisements, such as the fish eye selfie-mirror.

Guests were then invited to walk through the back of the 'Mini-market' through a changing area, containing personalised lockers of Align products for each guest, before leading into the yoga space itself. This transition was designed to feel like you were moving into a completely different world, emphasised through changes in colour and lighting. Where the 'Mini-market' was a vibrant, brightly lit space, the yoga studio was much more paired back with low orange lighting to give a warm and calming atmosphere.

BUILDING THE BRAND ACTIVATION

The activation was held in three different venues, which meant creating a flexible design that could adjust to each of the spaces. We were mindful of the environmental impact of having numerous bespoke elements made and so instead used rented furniture items such as plastic crates, metal shelving and lockers, to divide up the different areas within event. This not only gave us the flexibility we needed on site, but the variety of materials and textures these items brought, added an authenticity to the 'Mini-market' space.

Sharing the experience

In addition to being engaging for guests, the space was specifically designed to be photographed well so that the experience could be successfully shared across social media, extending the digital aspect of the campaign. The layering of objects and textures in the space helped curate aesthetic backgrounds, whilst we ensured wide pathways around the space so influencers we easily able to move around and share their experience.
