Lowe’s Style Studio and the Rise of Spatial Commerce
In this episode of Austin Tech Connect, Thom Singer speaks with Josh Shabtai, Senior Director of Spatial Commerce at Lowe’s Innovation Labs, about the intersection of retail, real estate, and immersive technology.
Lowe’s has just launched its newest innovation, Lowe’s Style Studio—a virtual reality experience that empowers customers to design and visualize kitchen spaces in an interactive, high-fidelity VR environment. The very first market in the country to experience this cutting-edge technology? Austin, Texas.
The conversation explores how Lowe’s Innovation Labs is thinking like a startup inside a Fortune 500 company, building in-house tools that blend spatial computing, customer experience, and the future of home design. With Austin’s strong ecosystem of property tech startups and its culture of early adoption, the city provides a perfect testbed for this type of experimentation.
Josh shares how spatial commerce is reshaping expectations in home improvement, how the Lowe’s team collaborates across disciplines to create customer-centric experiences, and why more companies need to think beyond traditional industry boundaries.
The episode also touches on the broader narrative that “every company is now a tech company”, and how innovation at scale can emerge from legacy brands willing to embrace bold thinking.
