Well…who knew? FACETASM and Coca-Cola have dropped a surprise collection-within-a-collection with Japanese style guru Hiroshi Fujiwara, and not just at any place, but at THE CONVENI, the convenience store-inspired shop at Ginza Sony Park in Tokyo. It’s in fact a special three-way capsule collection between FACETASM, Coca-Cola and THE CONVENI, featuring a range of limited edition items which pay homage to Japanese convenience store culture, and signalling Coca-Cola as a fave drink along the way. Shoppers will be able to shop the collection like they are in a 24-hour supermarket, pulling various limited edition, packaged items from the shelves and refrigerators, to add to their baskets and carts. Fujiwara and FACETASM have designed a collection featuring the ultimate convenience store items. There is a special T-shirt that comes in three color ways – grey, white and black. The T-shirts and socks are packaged in beverage-style PET bottles, and will be retailed straight from the cold drinks chiller. Branded umbrellas will also be available, to help with any unexpected summer downpours. Shower slides will round out the collection (available through Aug 4).

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
