Selfridges launches Festival of Imagination!
“Imagination is the mother of originality; we encourage imagination in every way possible.”
– Harry Gordon Selfridge
Based on inspiring words by Harry Gordon Selfridge himself, the iconic department store have launched their very own innovative campaign – The Festival of Imagination, created to encourage people to explore the power of their own imagination.
Over at The Imagine Shop on the ground floor, you will find a range of pioneering products at the forefront of modern technology and design. From everything to 3D Printers, a virtual watch store, GPS shoes and the most expensive ever item sold at Selfridges: a yacht shoppable via augmented reality at a whopping £300 million.
With our offices located directly opposite Selfridges itself, we had to pay them a visit to see for ourselves what they had to offer. And we weren’t disappointed. Below are a few of our faves:
Transparent Speakers
Shoes with built in GPS technology
Mind Wave – headset designed to measure brain wave signals
The virtual watch store
The most expensive item Selfridges has ever sold
Electric Bike
Light Shades
This Ping Pong table will set you back at £20,000
As well as The Imagine Shop, Selfridges have also put together a programme of inspiring, exclusive lectures, events and workshops to celebrate the Festival of Imagination.
