Casper House Pop-Up in LA
Following a successful 2015 run on Abbot Kinney in Venice,CA, online mattress retailer, Casper, opened a second pop-up shop, dubbed the“Casper House” on the “Coolest Street in America.”
Conceived as an illustrated house erected inside a brick andmortar store, this playful concept perfectly integrated Casper’s whimsicalnature while providing practical & cozy areas – in the form of bedrooms -for guests to try out the Casper product line which includes mattresses,sheets, and pillows. The shop also hosted numerous events over the course ofits run such as cocktail events, influencer parties, and even yoga classes! Interiorwalls were built on castors to provide flexibility for the space to functionfor multiple purposes.
The initial 2 month Summer run was so successful that Casperextended the project to 8 months to run through the holidays!
