Japanese retailer BEAMS has once again crossed the Pacific to set up shop stateside, albeit temporarily. We’re talking the BEAMS+ pop-up store in Los Angeles which has just opened its doors. In 2019, BEAMS launched a series of pop-up stores on the premises of select Nordstrom department stores on the U.S. West Coast and Canada, an event we’ve covered in a previous post, but this time, they’re going it alone. The ephemeral retail space is dedicated entirely to its eponymous men’s leisurewear line, and the opening coincides with the 25th anniversary of the BEAMS+ line. The pop-up store occupies a ground floor unit on the premises of an industrial complex in the city’s revived Arts District. Officially dubbed BEAMS+ Limited Store, the retail space uses the building’s raw backdrop as a canvas for a series of settings furnished with both custom-made and carefully sourced vintage props, rugs and potted plants which ooze a welcoming homey vibe. The newly opened BEAMS+ Limites Store stocks a wide selection of men’s apparel, accessories and shoes (open through Dec 24). © superfuture

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.
