# Maze-Like Child Boutiques The 'Kindo' Store Combines a Sense of Play with High-End Clothing By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-08-24 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kindo References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2015/08/18/anagrama-kindo-childrens-boutique-store-mexico-interiors-oversized-bead-maze/) & [anagrama](http://www.anagrama.com/) The Kindo children's boutique designed by Anagrama creates a [sense of play](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play) combined with the world of fashion. The boutique store was designed to incorporate the theme of a maze. The entire store is a giant beaded maze that is decorated with splashes of pastel colors against pure white walls. The idea for this playful store is to lead both children and adults on an adventurous trip around the store. By turning shopping into a game, it allows parents to ensure their children are entertained and do not become bored or grumpy. The Kindo store is filled with massive geometric hangers that project the idea of [a playground](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archipelago-playscape) rather than a [fashion-forward boutique](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/base-store). The hangers weave through the store and act as a guide to show guests the portion of the store they should visit next. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Playful Store Design:** Incorporating playful elements and interactive experiences into retail spaces can enhance customer engagement and create a memorable shopping experience. - **Interactive Shopping Experiences:** Transforming the act of shopping into a game or adventure can keep customers entertained and increase their likelihood of making a purchase. - **Combining Fashion and Play:** Bringing together the worlds of fashion and play can create a unique and innovative concept that appeals to both children and adults. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Retail:** Retailers can incorporate interactive and playful elements into their stores to attract customers and enhance the shopping experience. - **Children's Fashion:** Children's fashion brands can explore innovative designs and store concepts that blend playfulness with fashion to stand out in the market. - **Store Design and Architecture:** Design firms specializing in store design and architecture have the opportunity to create immersive and playful retail environments that captivate customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lightness-Themed Womenswear Boutiques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-by-one-1.md) - [Elegantly Minimalist Retail Environments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-environment.md) - [Brand-Backed Maze Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-maze.md) - [Boutique Grocery Makeovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womens-clothing-boutique.md) - [Immersive Sports Supplies Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegas-sports.md) - [Metaverse-Inspired Retail Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-teen.md) - [Boutique Grocery Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meadow-lane-store.md) - [Tent‑Filled Daycare Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deya-day-care.md) - [Zen-Like Shopping Malls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenlike-shopping-mall.md)
