A longtime fixture in Japan‘s retail landscape is raising its profile overseas. We’re talking United Arrows‘ new store in Shanghai. The store occupies a lofty unit of approx. 3,807 sq.ft. (364 sqm.) set across two floors at Jing’An Kerry Centre, an upscale shopping centre in the heart of the city, and features an interior design created by the brand’s in-house design team in Tokyo. Clean and simple, the retail space features a backdrop of sand-coloured walls, paired with fixtures and displays in a matching hue, and all offset by soft blue carpeting. The new United Arrows store, the Japanese retailer’s first directly controlled retail space in China, and offers a carefully curated collection of women’s apparel. A total of six items will be available from United Arrows, Beauty & Youth United Arrows, and h collections. Additionally, the United Arrows store will be planning its first collaboration items with the Chinese apparel and shoe brand Pane, holding a pop-up event, and offering limited quantities of items. © 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.
