Description
We sold 18 € tickets to the public that gave the ticket-holder permission to saw off the stadium’s wooden seating.
The remaining seating was turned into designer furniture and sold for a premium price through a premium retailer.
Execution
The Stadium Chair was produced as single seats and sofas complemented with a table. It can be used as inside furniture as well as outdoors.
The whole product line has sold out.
Outcome
- The campaign created seven figure returns to fund the stadium renovation through the ticket sales and furniture.
- The 2000-piece collection sold out completely at a premium price.
- The campaign provided months of major media publicity for the stadium renovation project, thus helping to raise more public and private funding.
- The retailer Vepsäläinen sealed a multimillion euro deal to provide furniture for the renovated stadium.
- The campaign helped to demonstrate the enduring significance of the Helsinki Olympic Stadium to younger audiences.
