Wild Things’ Pop-Up Shop

Everyone has probably read Maurice Sendak’s children’s’ classic, “Where the Wild Things Are,” but now that Spike Jonze’s adaptation is hitting the silver screen, Urban Outfitters has helped spruce up Space 15 Twenty’s pop-up store in anticipation of the movie’s release.

Located in Los Angeles, the space is heavily adorned with branch sculptures, fiberglass oak trees and sprawled with early sketches by Sonny Gerasimowicz, art director of the movie.

The forest-inspired, interactive store was designed to give fans a sense of what it would be like to run through the wild with Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper who creates his own world, a forest to be exact, that’s inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler.

The Wild Thing Pop-Up Shop also has special costumes designed by Christian Joy, as well as merchandise and artwork. A percentage of the profits generated at the pop-up store will go to 826 Valencia, a charity dedicated to supporting students with their writing skills.

Max and his motley crew of monsters charge their way into theaters October 16. In the meantime, take a look at this awesome trailer:
