The meticulously designed structure – featuring London’s many famous landmarks, including The Shard, London Eye, Gherkin, Millennium Dome and many more – was crafted with high-density foam using a poly carving technique. Working within the confines of a tiny access space to the window, the 3D model had to be methodically pieced together much like an enormous puzzle.
Frosted blue LED is used to symbolize the River Thames, and red chasing LED replicates the London marathon tracking route as it winds through the concrete jungle model. The red LED also works to echo the brand’s global branding colourways and the red tracking lines of the brand’s in-store run club app, Strava.
Lit 3D lettering protrudes from the model, calling out the campaign mantra, and mirrored flooring works to reflect the entire 3D model, giving an infinite feel to the scheme.
In the other window and instore, the brand’s mannequin army are styled upon skyscraper and building style plinths at varying heights, complete with lit up windows.
The campaign coincides not only with the London Marathon but also with the launch of the brand’s new YouTube series created by lululemon’s first global run ambassador, Charlie Dark, that explores purposeful running.
