Since its inception in 1988, fashion brand ZUCCa has been a fixture in Japan‘s fashion landscape, operating a string of stores nationwide and also abroad. As of late ZUCCa opened a third outpost in Tokyo on the premises of Tobu department store in the city’s Ikebukuro district. Perched on the third floor, flanked by the retail spaces of Japanese and foreign premium brands such as agnès b., A.P.C. and DRESSTERIOR, the shop-in-shop measures 123 sqm. (1,324 sq.ft.) and features an interior design by Moment, a local architecture and design practice. Although divided by a small corridor, the shop-in-shop is designed to look like two long, horizontal enclaves united, and this is visually anchored by large wooden blocks lined up in a row. The blocks are seemingly stacked in a staggered manner, adding a subtle yet playful element to the linear setting, and which matches well with ZUCCa‘s youthful brand image. The displays are visually aligned, featuring matching block shapes. The new ZUCCa shop-in-shop carries women’s and men’s apparel, accessories and handbags. © 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.
