This miniature shop installed at London's Southbank Centre was designed by How About Studio to resemble the finishes of a public swimming pool (+ slideshow).
How About Studio created the Mobile Shop for the Festival of Love, which is taking place at London's Southbank Centre from 9 July to 29 August 2016.

The shop is located on the centre's upper terrace, adjacent to artist Jeppe Hein's Appearing Room Fountain ? an artwork that shoots jets of water into the air.
The East London-based studio wanted to complement this water piece and so designed a kiosk for selling sun cream and accessories that could be used for jumping in the water fountain.

To continue the pool theme, the shop's base is covered in tiles and features a small pool ladder to emulate the aesthetics of public swimming baths.

"We were invited by the Southbank Centre to create an art installation and mobile retail structure that responded to the delightful transformation of the Southbank's site by Jeppe Hein's Appearing Rooms Fountain into one of play, water and public enjoyment," studio founder Nick Wood told Dezeen.

"Inspired by the tiled landscapes of public pools, and dreaming of drifting icebergs, we designed a durable mobile structure that unfolds and extends to become a retail stand selling sun cream and other poolside accessories to the public."
