Living & High-end Outdoor Furniture

From a single channel to department-store presence, in one year.

A high-end outdoor furniture brand expanded from one online channel into a multi-format Korean presence — including five department-store pop-ups.

Context
The brand had a single online presence with limited Korean-language merchandising. Premium positioning required offline credibility — but the founders did not want a distributor relationship to get there.
Approach
01

Premium offline staging

Konivo negotiated and operated five department-store pop-ups across Seoul and Busan, with merchandising and staffing handled end-to-end.

02

Online expansion in parallel

Nine Smart Stores and a flagship Naver storefront were launched with synchronized inventory and unified brand presentation.

03

Margin-protected pricing

A single pricing logic across online and offline prevented channel cannibalization and protected the brand's premium positioning.

Outcome

GMV grew 218% over twelve months. The brand now operates across department stores, online flagships, and Smart Stores under a single contract — and can exit any of them without losing its market.
