6 Week Refresh Gets Wired

Launched in October 2013, Pop-In@Nordstrom is an ongoing series of themed pop-up shops that transitions every four to six weeks to offer a new shopping experience and a batch of new, often exclusive merchandise that goes beyond the offering of our Nordstrom dresses and Nordstrom handbags. Pop-In takes two forms: a shop curated around a theme featuring brands across different product categories (fashion, beauty, lifestyle, home/garden, sports/outdoors, etc.), or a partnership with a single brand to bring “the world of” to customers.

Pop-In@Nordstrom was built on a monthly rotation to keep customers coming back to discover new brands, new merchandise and create a fun and compelling experience in stores and online. Each shop features a mix of hand-picked merchandise spanning the high/low price range, with price points often starting at $5.

Now it is time for tech to shine at Nordstrom. The first-ever, tech Pop-In shop for Nordstrom has been designed to replicate the inside of a computer, giving customers the opportunity to experience what it would be like stepping into a computer circuit board. The in-store replication has a clean technical feel: an all-white environment with blue fluorescent lighting, display tables disguised as computer chips and capacitors with metallic connectors, and a circuit board floor graphic all designed by Olivia Kim’s Creative Projects team.

Nordstrom’s Testing New Partnerships

In her role, Kim focuses on creating energy, excitement, a sense of discovery and a bit of disruption through engaging and unique shopping experiences at Nordstrom, both in-stores and online. Kim’s Creative Project’s initiatives have established Nordstrom as a retail platform to test new partnerships, concept shops and to bring limited distribution collections to customers, as well as introduce customers to the best up-and-coming brands and new talent.
