Visit Field notes
A two floor showcase on the northern end of Soho. The ground floor is a showcase (either individual pop-ups or residencies and cafe, while the downstairs is a photo studio and training resource.
Initially this store appeared to be a marketing 'pop-up' (ironically it is in the same building as Google used for its own 'world of Google' devices, services and merchandise store), however over the years it has settled into a learning and training space (basement) along with a rotating series of brand activations and collaborations on the ground floor. This is a great example of how a digital, non-physical brand can showcase its work and connect with existing and prospective B2B and B2C consumers.
