Three behaviours holding the trend togetherArtistic Pop-Ups
With consumer demand for immersive and memorable experiences, pop-ups are taking a creative approach to design, cultivating an artistic aesthetic.
Origami-Inspired Structures
Adopting triangular aluminum panels connected by hinges, projects have created origami-inspired structures that behave like a scaled-up version of a folded paper creation, and can be used to provide pop-up outdoor shops or offer portable multi-use structures for information booths, coffee stands and pop-up shops.
Transforming Pop-Up Spaces
Adopting flexible walls with built-in furniture, pop-up spaces have been transformed to provide 1000 square feet of space where only limited space is available, offering a continuously changing space for people to live while addressing issues of urbanization and increasing populations.
