Skechers: From the white cube to the ephemeral playground
Hosting a brand event in a Parisian art gallery is a common practice, but bringing together several sports worlds within it requires real scenographic agility. For the launch of its new performance range, notably driven by the model Razor 2, Skechers has taken over the 10 rue de Turenne. The event demonstrated that with a mastered spatial configuration, a minimalist volume can adapt to become a dynamic and vibrant activation ground.
A natural synergy: housing five disciplines under one roof
The main challenge of this evening was the diversity of infrastructures to integrate: basketball, football, running, pickleball, and golf. The space was organized fluidly to accommodate installations adapted to each practice, without however compartmentalizing the venue:
- A treadmill for real-time stride testing
- A basketball hoop and a soccer cage for precision activities
- A mini pickleball court
- A golf green adjacent to a video simulator replicating course conditions
- A football cage for precision training
Rather than rigidly dividing the gallery, the work of zoning allowed these different disciplines to be combined very naturally. By exploiting the perspectives of the location, the scenography allowed guests to move from one activity to another with perfect fluidity, encouraging them to explore the entire space.
Clarity and volume: a setting suited to effervescence
Beyond the sports facilities, the event also included a festive dimension with numerous screens broadcasting the brand's dynamic universe, a DJ set, a buffet, as well as an exhibition of the different pairs from the collection throughout the course.
The clarity and the beautiful ceiling height of 10 rue de Turenne made it possible to support all these elements without ever overwhelming the eye. Bathed in natural light, the gallery offers spacious volumes and a sense of openness ideal for this type of gathering. It is this feeling of freedom that allowed the energy of the evening to be fully expressed, offering ambassadors and influencers a setting that was at once airy, dynamic, and convivial.
Flexibility, the key to the most audacious concepts
For event creators, the modularity of a venue is the starting point for creativity. A space that can adapt in this way offers brands complete freedom of expression to bring their ideas to life.
