Design Details

Unique Properties
The team developed a 3D version of Fido’s 2D black and white world along with a multi sensory experience that brought people into an imagined world for Fido. The idea was to immerse visitors into Fido’s universe, inviting them to feel free to just be, bringing the campaign message to life. Every aspect of the space was carefully considered, from Fido’s closet of iconic outfits to the Fido Flakes in the kitchen pantry.
Inspiration
Celebrating the return of 90s icon Fido Dido, the King of Chill, the PepsiCo Design team partnered with 7UP Free to create the Fido Dido House in London’s Covent Garden. Inviting Londoners to chill like Fido, the two day installation came complete with a fridge cool down, hammock hang outs, an interactive artist doodle wall, soothing nap worthy music, and 7UP Free product sampling.
