Thoughtful giving

IKEA had two goals for this campaign. Increase the brand association of IKEA as a gift shop. And show that IKEA is an omnichannel retailer. With that in mind, we designed an online gift shop, and the digital elements of a pop-up shop in Utrecht as part of a new brand experience: the “IKEA Gift Shop”.

1 Shop 2 goals

Based on our design research, we created one experience across different channels and touch points. We integrated digital elements into the physical experience. For example, we designed a video booth, an interactive display and an interface for two 55-inch in-store touch screens allowing people to buy the same gifts as in the online webshop.

Example of the screens in the IKEA pop up store.
A gift that you buy in the gift shop is more than "just" an IKEA product. It is a gesture that makes the other person really feel how much thought you put into it for them.
