Oatly opened Monochrome by Oatly, a 10-day matcha-themed pop-up at Goodhood in Shoreditch that runs from September 3-13. The immersive space is drenched in green and centers on a colour-matching matcha bar, signature matcha drinks and a small collection of designer ceramics. The concept pairs Oatly’s ready-to-drink matcha latte with fashion-forward presentation.
The venue includes a professional colour analyst who recommends a personalised shade of matcha green, and a barista then prepares a bespoke matcha beverage reflecting that palette. The pop-up serves flavour variations such as pear and jasmine matcha and pandan matcha, and a conveyor of limited co-branded merchandise appears in rotation including tote bags, keyrings and soap. Oatly worked with ceramicist Liam Owen on a set of handcrafted matcha vessels finished in a speckled green glaze.
Visitors get a tailored sensory moment that blends beverage ritual with contemporary design and collectible goods. The experience makes matcha a style statement as much as a drink and continues Oatly’s lifestyle-focused product storytelling.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Color-personalized Drinks
- Beverage brands are blending color analysis with customized recipes, creating premium sensory experiences that connect personal style with everyday consumption.
- Lifestyle Pop-up Retail
- Temporary branded spaces are becoming immersive storytelling platforms where food, fashion and design intersect to deepen consumer affinity.
- Collectible Beverage Merchandise
- Limited-edition ceramics, accessories and co-branded goods extend drink occasions into design-led keepsakes that reinforce brand identity beyond the product.
Sectors Adopting This
- Beverage
- Ready-to-drink and café concepts can differentiate through personalization, flavor experimentation and aesthetic rituals that transform beverages into identity-driven experiences.
- Fashion Retail
- Style-led retail environments have room to integrate food and drink activations that turn shopping destinations into multi-sensory cultural moments.
- Homeware
- Designer vessels and functional collectibles create opportunities for home goods brands to participate in premium beverage rituals and lifestyle branding.
