Thermos has long delivered the 'comfort of temperature'—warmth and coolness—through its vacuum insulation technology. Since September 2024, the company has expanded into the apparel accessories market with '＆ONDO', a brand centered on the concept of 'temperature-based self-care'.

At this event, Thermos showcased and sold its first spring/summer lineup for 2026, including sun umbrellas, hats, and dry socks, allowing visitors to touch and try products firsthand. The event attracted a large number of visitors over its five-day run, with the venue consistently bustling and concluding successfully.

◆ 'Sensory BOX' at the Venue Enabled Daily Visitors to Experience Sun Umbrella Heat-Blocking Performance

The venue featured a 'Sensory BOX' equipped with artificial solar lighting that simulates real sunlight, allowing guests to experience the heat-blocking effect of the sun umbrellas. Approximately 1,500 visitors tried the experience during the event period. Feedback included: 'I could clearly feel the difference in heat with and without the umbrella,' and 'It was great to finally try a product I’ve been curious about.' Many customers gained firsthand appreciation of the performance of the 'COOL Heat-Blocking Sun Umbrella (SG-C601F/SG-C602F)'.

Additionally, Thermos ran a social media campaign offering premium prizes—including &ONDO products and Thermos's vacuum insulated portable mugs—to participants who posted their 'Sensory BOX' experience on social media. Around 1,400 of the 1,500 participants shared their experience online, contributing to the event’s high engagement and success.
