“While many of our products are created digitally, Studio48 will be a space for a different kind of creativity, where our designers from different departments can brainstorm together, exchange best practices, experience new materials and touch and feel the products they want to make.” 

Studio48 is not only an asset for PUMA’s in-house designers but also serves as an integral venue for hosting external collaborators and uniting PUMA’s global design community through workshops and events.  

Along with its inauguration in December 2024, Studio48 hosted a workshop led by Nicole McLaughlin, a US-based upcycling expert, who presented circular design principles.  

The event saw participation from PUMA designers across various product divisions from numerous international locations. 

In early 2024, PUMA disclosed plans to launch an additional creative hub in Los Angeles’ Hollywood district. 

In March, the brand partnered with Google Cloud to deploy its data, analytics and AI solutions, aiming to enhance the online shopping experience globally.
