OUR CONTAINER CONVERSION PROJECTS

LEGO: Life-Size LEGO Movie 2 Coffee Shop

To support the release of The LEGO Movie 2, we transformed a shipping container into a fully functioning, life-size replica of the film’s iconic coffee shop.
Working with The Sunshine Company, Scene2 engineered the container to look as though it had been built from oversized LEGO bricks — complete with sculpted LEGO elements, custom lampshades, a bespoke LEGO-style coffee machine and giant brick-inspired coffee cups.
The café was fully operational, serving real customers and hosting Tiffany Haddish and Chris Pratt during the “Awesome Week” promotion. It later toured to Amsterdam and concluded its journey in Hasselt.

William Hill: The Anthony Joshua Experience Tour

For William Hill, Scene2 delivered The Anthony Joshua Experience – a touring, immersive activation built from a modified, fully branded shipping container.
On arrival, the container’s lockable sidewall folded open to reveal an interactive environment where visitors could view exclusive memorabilia, test their strength on a boxing machine and enjoy multiple photo-ready moments.
Wrapped inside and out with large-format graphics and fitted with branded display plinths, a pop-up mini boxing ring and a custom punching game, the build delivered a high-impact, social-media-friendly experience at every location.

IWC: Multi-Container Luxury Brand Showcase

Touring major UK cities, Scene2 partnered with This Is Tommy to create a premium showcase for luxury watchmaker IWC.
The activation featured four custom-converted shipping containers forming a refined modular pavilion — complete with elevated flooring, high-gloss laminated walling and integrated live planting.
An animated digital totem and sheltered zones ensured a weather-resilient, immersive brand experience that captured the precision, craftsmanship and luxury synonymous with the IWC name.
