Already present with two stores in New York City, one stocking a collection of women’s and men’s lines, and the other dedicated entirely to its coveted Pleats Please collection, ISSEY MIYAKE has added a third outpost in SoHo which will exclusively carry the BAO BAO ISSEY MIYAKE bag line. The Japanese fashion house has secured a 48 sqm. (513 sq.ft.) unit on the ground floor of a five-storey red brick structure built in 1900. The interior design, created by Tokyo-based design studio Moment, is inspired by the traditional Japanese irori, a sunken space in traditional homes where family and friends gather around a central fire to share peaceful moments and memories. Here, it has been translated into a large ceiling light while an elongated glass and steel table placed right below, flanked on one side by a metal-clad display wall. Additional merchandise is display on tiered wall-mounted shelving and in a recessed cabinet. A built-in LED screen featuring branded content adds a visual dynamic to the setting. The new BAO BAO ISSEY MIYAKE store carries a curated selection of bags. © 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.
