The Ask

The Regenerative Cycle

Twenty6 came to us with one ask: design an immersive and brand-forward installation for Milan Design Week that showcases UNLESS Collective’s first activation with Under Armour.

The Approach

Through a design-forward, interactive experience, WONU transformed complex science into a tactile journey brought to life through immersive visuals, hands-on moments, and material storytelling for UNLESS Collective’s first activation with Under Armour.

With an invite-only the press preview kicking off design week, WONU debuted the regenerative future of sportswear, hosting 30 journalists and 275 Salone guests for a chic, cocktail event - with the installation open to the public for 3 days after.

Through an education-forward circular buildout we took media/press figures and the public through the decomposition cycle of UNLESS x Under Armour with design at the helm.

Elements included.

  • Welcome Wall
  • Decomposing Product Displays
  • Central Circular Build (Brand Narrative & Product Displays)
  • Exclusive Collab Product Display
  • Branded Bar & DJ Booth
  • Scenic Installation

The Results

Bringing regenerative vision to life, the installation was a strategic brand statement, built plastic-free with partners who shared the same ethos. The impact positioned UNLESS as a leader in regenerative sportswear and sustainable design, earning global press and sparking conversation on the future of innovation.

Brand Awareness :

  • 275+ attendees at press preview 
  • 3.7M+ social impressions 
  • 10 + articles on activation, including WWD
