TreeHouse Talk #3 with Patagonia

The TreeHouse Talk with Patagonia focused on protecting our planet - specifically the moving story of the Vjosa in Albania. Threatened for decades, it was declared Europe's first wild river national park in 2023. In a talk with Vanessa Rueber from Patagonia, we immersed ourselves in the emotional journey behind "Vjosa Forever" - with a short film, background information and exciting insights into the successful efforts of activists, scientists and local communities. An inspiring evening that encourages people to stand up for change.

Circular Future Panel: with Muntagnard & we are zrcl

How can a genuine circular economy succeed in the fashion industry? This is exactly what we talked about at the TreeHouse together with Muntagnard and WE ARE ZRCL. In an open panel discussion, Dario Pirovino (Muntagnard), Kilian Wiget (WE ARE ZRCL) and Robin Gnehm (NIKIN) shared their honest insights into the opportunities, challenges and limitations of circular approaches. Afterwards, participants were able to ask their own questions and exchange ideas over a cozy aperitif. An inspiring evening with exciting perspectives - thank you to everyone who attended!

Family event AT TREEHOUSE: creative Easter craft activity

On two spring-like Saturdays in April, our TreeHouse in Aarau became a meeting place for young and old: at the Easter craft event, children were able to give free rein to their creativity and design their own Easter egg packaging. One highlight was the Easter egg hunt in Aarau's old town - the Easter bunny hid one egg each, which could be exchanged for a bulging goodie bag. Two days full of fun, color and a spring-like atmosphere - thanks to everyone who took part!

TreeHouse Talk #1 - Forest: Facts, myths and more

Our NIKIN TreeHouse is more than just a place - it is a meeting point for exciting conversations, inspiring stories and new perspectives. Our first TreeHouse Talk took place shortly after the opening. Guests were given exciting insights and gripping stories by Christoph Niederberger, Director of Swiss Forestry, and Benno Schmid, Head of Communications and Politics. Surprising facts about the forest, many of which were not yet known, generated lively interest, and numerous questions were discussed in the interactive Q&A session. The event concluded with a cozy aperitif where participants were able to exchange ideas and make new contacts. An inspiring evening that showed how important it is to talk about sustainability and nature conservation!

Nikin TreeHouse: Switzerland's largest tree house is now open!

More than 800 visitors explored the new home of NIKIN. The first people were already lining up shortly after 8 a.m. for the official opening at 10 a.m. - understandable, because there is much more to discover in the TreeHouse than just the new flagship store. In addition to the store, it also houses the new NIKIN offices and a community room for smaller events. The centerpiece of the TreeHouse is a ten-meter-long tree that fell after a storm in Lenzburg and now runs through all floors as a symbol of sustainability. But the numerous swings in the house and the externally run café were also well received by young and old. The TreeHouse is now the new home for NIKIN employees, customers and the community. Thank you to everyone who found their way to our new home, the largest tree house in Switzerland, and joined us in writing another milestone in NIKIN's history.

Nostalgic outlet and archive sale in Lenzburg

An era is coming to an end... On August 31, the very last outlet and archive sale took place in Lenzburg. It was a great day full of exciting encounters and we were delighted to meet so many of you in person. Together we put seasonal items and rare unique pieces into new hands and celebrated the last Office Tour in Lenzburg. Many thanks to everyone who visited us! You made this last outlet sale in Lenzburg something very special! We look forward to welcoming you to the new NIKIN House in Aarau from 2025!

Behind-the-Scenes Event & Outlet Sale in Lenzburg

The outlet sale in Lenzburg on January 27 was a complete success. Shortly before the outlet opened, customers were already queuing up to get their hands on the best outlet products. Before the outlet opened, we held a behind-the-scenes event where our product team gave an insight into their work. There was a lot of interest in product development at NIKIN and exciting questions were asked. Many thanks to everyone who stopped by our HQ on Saturday!

Recap forest workshops Bern 2023

Unfortunately, this time the weather wasn't as good as it was for the last TreePlantingDay, for example. Nevertheless, 15 participants met on this rainy November day at the Chutzenturm, where the introduction took place with a wonderful view. The mountains even appeared briefly in the background! Due to a storm warning, we had to limit the choice of workshops to three, which fortunately could then be held without rain. The participants were divided between the workshops "Silviculture", "Yoga walk in the forest" and "Experiencing the forest", with the former clearly being the most popular. On this instructive day, we were able to learn more about the value of the forest and the possibilities of experiencing it close to nature. We would like to thank all participants for their enthusiastic participation and look forward to welcoming you to the Christmas markets in similar temperatures!

TreePlantingDay Grüningen (ZH)

#treebytree! On October 7, 2023, another TreePlantingDay took place in Grüningen (ZH). The 30 dedicated participants planted 550 seedlings of cherry trees and Douglas firs, as well as sycamore and Norway maples, in record time. The previously bare area of the Zurich State Forest had to be reforested due to storm damage and bark beetle infestation. In beautiful autumn weather, young and old spent a fulfilling day in the forest and planted the trees on behalf of our first 250 crowd investors. Thanks to the motivated commitment of all participants, we were able to make an important contribution to environmental protection!

Gurtenfestival

It was a Gurtenfestival for the history books! On Wednesday, our NIKIN stand had to brave the hailstorm and also offered shelter to many visitors. After the thunderstorms, our caps and sunglasses were all the rage! We particularly enjoyed the conversations with our customers and are really looking forward to next year.

Open Air St. Gallen

Once again this year, NIKIN had a small but excellent stand at the Open Air St. Gallen. With us: our evergreen latest collections - for that extra dose of summer feeling! Our team was able to meet lots of great people and enjoy the event to the full. #goodvibesonly

Mountain Cleanup

On June 1, 2023, we organized an inspiring Mountain Clean Up Day together with Saas Fee / Saas Valley Tourism. Numerous participants, including school classes and locals, cleared the Saas Valley of garbage and sent a strong signal against littering. Thank you to everyone who got involved to make our environment cleaner and more sustainable!

Circular Collection x Ocean Safe

We proudly presented the first 100% circular shirt from the NIKIN Circular Collection in collaboration with OceanSafe. Together we discussed the importance of circular economy and explained to the visitors how the shirt was produced. Many thanks to all participants for this unforgettable event, where we showed that sustainability and environmental protection can go hand in hand.

POP-UP @NIKIN SHOWROOM WITH TEXAID

The pop-up @NIKIN showroom on March 18 was a complete success! We welcomed many of you to our headquarters in Lenzburg and were delighted with the positive feedback. Together with TEXAID, we were also able to accept your old clothes this time and offer you a discount. The campaign went down really well with you and shows that sustainability is an important issue that affects us all. Thank you for your support - see you next time!

NIKIN TreePlantingDay Etagnières (VD)

It's a wrap! A total of 30 volunteer tree planters took part in our TreePlantingDay in Etagnières. Together we planted 250 trees and thus made an important contribution to environmental protection. We were very lucky with the weather and as a thank you, all TreePlanters received a NIKIN Treeanie. Finally, we were able to complete a quiz on exciting forest facts with Almighty Tree and go home satisfied.

NIKIN Pop-Up Store @ Aarau

In October 2022, Aargauische Kantonalbank opened the AKB Lab in Aarau. This location is intended to be the new meeting place and generous space for creative minds, innovative entrepreneurs and customers. And not to beat about the bush: We are the first partner company to rent these premises and have opened the NIKIN Pop-Up Store here. YAY!
