Urban Outfitters recently introduced a new temporary retail environment as part of its ongoing 'On Rotation' series, this time creating a branded space dedicated to the UGG brand within select stores.
The UGG On Rotation installation is designed to be an immersive experience that translates the cozy footwear company's aesthetic into a physical setting through interactive elements and a lounge-like atmosphere. Visitors of the UGG On Rotation installation enter through "a tunnel inspired by UGG’s iconic textures and tone," and end up in the lounge-style environment with "hero items like the Classic Tall Chalet Boot, Classic Ultra Mini Boot, along with plush knitwear and sherpa accessories."
This branded experience is available at Urban Outfitters locations at Herald Square (NYC), Georgetown (DC), Palo Alto (CA), Roosevelt Field ,(NY) and Portland (OR).
