This clothes shop in downtown Takasaki was relocated to a building just a few minutes’ walk from the original shop due to building reconstruction. While retaining the atmosphere of the previous shop, we added new features to the space. A newly introduced vintage cabinet, which is used as a checkout counter, was made the main feature of the space. In order to enhance its charm, other furniture was created using the bare surface of lauan plywood. The texture of the lauan plywood will blend with the vintage cabinet over time, deepening the overall atmosphere of the store. We aimed to create a space that respects the past and spins new values.
