An Immersive Sanrio Experience Designed & Built by Coffee House Industries
When Sanrio approached us in search of a Hello Kitty pop-up experience that would captivate shoppers and spark hours-long lines inside the Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, CA, Coffee House Industries delivered — turning an empty retail space into one of the most immersive Hello Kitty environments ever built. Our response was simple: say no less.
This large-scale Hello Kitty pop-up installation blends experiential retail, themed décor, and high-detail scenic fabrication. Designed and built entirely by Coffee House Industries, the space invites guests to step into a cozy, holiday-inspired Sanrio world filled with custom sets, interactive photo moments, and vibrant character storytelling.
Transforming a Retail Space Into a Full Hello Kitty World
From the first step inside the pop-up, visitors are greeted with a premium, highly detailed environment engineered for engagement. The experience begins with a custom Hello Kitty plush wall, constructed from hundreds of stacked Hello Kitty heads — an instant photo moment that has quickly become one of the most shared images from the activation.
Across the room, an oversized red mural showcases Hello Kitty and her friends, anchoring the central cash wrap and establishing the signature look of the space. Clean white brick façades, bold red framing, and gingham patterns tie the entire installation together, creating a cohesive retail environment that feels nostalgic, modern, and perfectly on-brand for Hello Kitty fans of all ages.
Custom-built shelving, themed floor graphics shaped like Hello Kitty’s bow, and warm lighting guide guests organically through the shop, allowing the environment itself to tell the story.
Inside the Hello Kitty Home: A Complete Immersive Set Build
Beyond the merchandise floor, Coffee House Industries designed and fabricated a fully immersive, multi-room Hello Kitty Home — one of the most detailed scenic environments ever featured inside a mall pop-up.
Each room was custom-built from scratch, featuring:
- Faux-brick fireplaces
- Oversized character cutouts and scenic window reveals
- Custom CNC-cut trims and framing
- Plush sofas, gingham rugs, pillows, and themed décor
- Life-size Hello Kitty props designed for photo opportunities
- Wall illustrations and framed artwork of the entire Sanrio cast
From the cozy living room scene to the reading nook and the iconic photo arch shaped like Hello Kitty’s head, every detail was engineered to deliver a warm, storybook-style atmosphere that encourages visitors to explore, photograph, and share.
