JAPAN - the coworking café according to Starbucks.

In collaboration with ThinkLab, the creator of innovative workspaces in the land of the rising sun, the famous American brand may have just imagined the coffee shop concept of tomorrow in Tokyo.
In a space of almost 200 m², everyone can reserve their own individual or group workspace. Drinks and meals can be ordered via the app or directly at the counter.
The premises have been entirely designed to provide all the comforts required in a professional environment, with all the necessary connections at hand, the possibility of projecting content during meetings and free Internet access.
To meet current sanitary requirements, each workspace is systematically disinfected after use.

SPAIN - The ephemeral store in Barcelona

In September 2021, Mango has imagined its version of the ephemeral store on a concept directly addressed to its target of teenage customers.

Mango decided to make its mark with a 200 sq. m. full-pink showcase for its new range for 11-15 year-olds.
The brand designed an immersive journey in collaboration with Tik Tok.
Young customers are encouraged to show off their energy by dancing and singing, and then posting the whole thing on the platform so popular with this age group.

Mango is fully committed to this diversification strategy and intends to multiply these Pop Up stores to promote the other segments of its brand.
