The retail space has been designed by Comme des Garçons‘ prolific creative director Rei Kawakubo, and features an instantly recognisable aesthetic that’s similar to other Comme des Garçons stores across the planet. The store’s two large floor-to-ceiling windows are playfully obscured by metal tubes in different sizes which correspond with a series of cone-shaped volumes of metal which serve as displays.
