# Shipping Palette Pop-Ups LoopCreative Designs a Collaborative Space for Artists and Retailers By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-04-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopcreative References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/loopcreative-brand-x-pop-up-studio-playground-sydney-04-01-2014/) & [loopcreative.au](http://loopcreative.com.au/) Located in Sydney, Australia, Loopcreative has put together a [pop-up shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokyo-popups) made completely out of [shipping palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastic-pallet-boxes). The space is intended for a number of different purposes, including [retail space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espacio-gdl-store) as well as an area for artists to come and be productive. Considering many creatives do not have a set office to go to every day, having something like this to fall back on is ideal. When the area is not being used for an artists haven, it can also transform into a concert venue during the evening. The shipping crates also add a bit of industrial character to the overall design, making one feel as if they are in a hip loft while sipping coffee and listening to music. LoopCreative certainly did a great job in designing a space that allows creatives to reach their full potential.
