Fashion store in Tokyo
For this Tokyo flagship store of a young New York fashion label, the former concept artist Vito Acconci implanted an interior of glowing curves into a small building in the fashionable district of Daikanyama. As a way of visually increasing the space inside the store (only 60 m² of floor space), the surfaces that flow around the space were given the added function of lighting. Waves of white PVC cover the entire interior, flowing over walls and ceiling, and stretching over steel tubes to form shelves and a counter. At floor level the PVC disappears into a joint with concealed lighting, marking the transition to a bare screed floor.
