As said in a previous post, South Korean cosmetics brand Tamburins has landed in Tokyo with a flagship store, in tandem with the new retail space of affiliated eyewear brand Gentle Monster. It’s the first overseas standalone store of the Seoul-based brand, and if you ask us, we expect an accelerated roll-out abroad in the near future. The Tamburins flagship store occupies a two-level unit on the premises of The Jewels of Aoyama, a mixed-use building with a striking façade which is situated right next to Prada’s futuristic glass tower. Similar to its retail spaces in the homeland, the interior design is infused with highly evocative settings beyond any genre, which sometimes also take cues from Tamburins‘ expanding product line. The premises are dotted with a wide variety of displays, or rather, fanstastical volumes used as displays, and also beautifully crafted props which reference the merchandise on display. Tamburins‘ sought-after offerings include a range of shower and body wash products, scented candles, fragrances, soaps and lip balms. The brand’s recently launched Pumkini scented candle, a candle whose fragrance combines white pumpkin with Perilla leaves and blood oranges, and this product has certainly influenced the decor, given the many references. Also prominently showcases is the brand’s new perfume collection. © superfuture.com

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.
