Shopping means Exerting Influence
Exhibit / Storytelling

 

Client: Coop
Job: Concept, staging, story and content creation

 

The Coop “store” at Umwelt Arena (a groundbreaking new type of information center dedicated to the environment, energy and sustainability), opened by Livingmedia in cooperation with Coop and Stauffenegger + Stutz, is no ordinary supermarket. Visitors shown around by “manager” Filip Grünenfelder can experience, for example, how important biodiversity is to Coop Naturaplan, or why Coop’s Max Havelaar-certified roses make you smart, or why Coop Naturaline t-shirts won’t cause rivers to turn purple.

 

The purpose of this interactive exhibit, in other words, is to show people how their daily shopping decisions have a direct impact on many people, animals and the environment – promoting sustainability through better consumer awareness.
