'Space Ninety 8' is a new concept store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn from Urban Outfitters that parallels its Space 15 Twenty shop in LA.
The location is situated in a spacious century-old warehouse that's had its four floors turned into a shoppable space full of shoes, clothing, music, home decor and accessories, many of which are completely unique to this location. Space Ninety 8's market level is full of limited edition products or colors that have been created by brands specifically for the store. As well, the shop also hosts mini pop-up shops from time to time with small brands like Salt Surf and Tee Party.
Decked out with lots of cozy woods, exposed brick and other natural elements, the warehouse hardly has an industrial feel and it's truly a hipster haven.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Eclectic Retail Experiences
- Creating unique, limited edition products and hosting small pop-up shops within a larger store can enhance the shopping experience and attract hipster consumers.
- Community-driven Brand Partnerships
- Collaborating with small, independent brands can help larger retailers tap into niche markets and build a strong sense of community, appealing to hipster customers.
- Authentic and Cozy Store Environments
- Designing stores with natural elements and a comfortable atmosphere can create a hipster-friendly environment that encourages longer dwell times.
Sectors Adopting This
