INTRO
During Covid-19, we were tasked with creating a space that replaced Auto shows to launch the New 2021 Lexus IS in four of the biggest markets in a safe, engaging way that would drive customers to dealerships.
5TH AVENUE, NY
OAKBROOK, IL
FASHION ISLAND, LA
LINCOLN ROAD, MIA
Inspired by the Lexus “ALL IN” campaign, directed to the Bold and Young personalities for the launch of the NEW IS 2021 Model, we took some of the most unique details from the vehicles, colors and movement to create a daring space full of self- discovery and story telling that embraces people taking their time to explore in a safe environment.
After rounds of brainstorming, the team visualized the space as a big bold statement that embraces the personality of the vehicle with a young look and feel were you almost feel like you can break into dancing, that’s why the “ALL IN” letters anchor the space as a statement and it’s the most consistent element through all locations. The placement of the sport car is strategically in the back of the space to force visitors to discover the entire store. The lighting above brings up movement and delineates the sport area from the regular vehicle. The neon precision line around the perimeter was inspired by the vehicle rear forming a path to follow by color gradation that correspond to the video content on the screens. A wall with license plates creates a break from the cars and creates and empathic moment with all types of customers and an IG moment.
After landing the architecture, we proceed with activating the space by adding a Sirius XM display that highlights one of the vehicle features, social media photo ops, a customized music playlist, smell and exciting video content that embraces the “ALL IN” personalities for storytelling.
