STRIPE'S MINIATURE, MOTORISED CITY IS A MODEL MARVEL AND TRIBUTE TO THE HIDDEN WORLD OF COMMERCE

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

For Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday, Stripe created “Stripe City,” an eight-foot-wide miniature city with over 100 figures, motorised elements, and interactive live data displays, designed to visualise the complex flow of global commerce. Handcrafted from paper, foam, and acrylics, the city combines physical diorama charm with digital interactivity, offering a playful yet ambitious celebration of Stripe's infrastructure and the companies that rely on it, while livestreaming the experience for viewers during the busy financial weekend.
