kidrobot is a premier creator of limited edition art toys, signature apparel and pop culture accessories. Its exclusive toys are extremely rare and collectible, with thirteen of their iconic pieces are included among the regarded MoMA museum collection. The kidrobot brand defines popular culture among a consumer base, which is drawn together by the insider language and their appreciation for the unexpected.
This retail prototype store, in a contemporary white box located in a historic-feel building and shopping district, is designed to highlight the product, create a sense of organization and flow, in turn allowing for the showcasing, storytelling, and grouping of products.

Within defined divisions and segments, the store’s kit-of-parts has been created to provide the building blocks for future kidrobot installations, whether shop-in-shop, pop-up, inline or flagship locations.
