NAKAGAMI, Tokyo and Hiroshima based apparel brand, opened
the first company-operated store with a press room to
communicate the brand’s ideas. The walls of ground story were
cleared to insert one boxy big sales area, 7m×3m. The
intermediate area between the exterior and interior are like a
blank, used on multi-purpose. The raceways, which are usually
used to fix lighting, composed the box frames of the shop. Pale
brown polycarbonate boards cover walls and the ceiling and floor
is covered with navy carpet. The contrast between crude
architectural materials with elegant color of the floor fully brings
out the luxury of the brand.

In a department store, light steel framed walls and piles of plastic
baskets make this small shop intriguing. As shops in department
stores generally change in a short period, this project is utterly
composed of removable members so that it can be easily
disassembled. Stacked shopping baskets fixed with polystyrene
foam make display tables for bags and accessories. Spatial
design for elegant merchandises paradoxically makes the most of
supermarket kind of everyday elements to show attractive contrast
in the interior.

Off-White GINZA SIX
Virgil Abloh, creative director of Off-White, calls this store
environment of Off-White GINZA SIX “warehouse surrealism”.
Spatial design of the store combined construction and
dismantlement. Most materials are common and painted off-white
to be used like collage. A lot of steel wire mesh and white brick
with logo were used. The facade looks being under construction
or still constructing. Atmosphere of the environment looks
industrial;truss reinforcement materials are used as hanger rods,
bench stools are made of reinforcing bars, and concrete floor is
covered with wire mesh pattern carpet.
