^That Cartier store is beautiful! Do you know who designed it, by any chance?
Watch stores tend to look like fussy old lady drawing rooms- which is why i love the Girard Perregaux boutique- a cross between a cabin and a sauna:
(from perregaux.ch)
Bernhard Willhelm opened his first shop in Tokyo on February 4th 2006.
He asked the design-duo "item idem™" and "Asa" to create an environment following his main guidelines.
"Item idem™" and "Asa" added their own inspiration and esthetical poetry influenced by the shelters of Japanese homeless which are build with found objects, cardboards, blue plastic and waste of the consumerist society.
By mixing art and market, this proposal of an exhibition shop will live for months before evolving just as a homeless updates his cardboard house. The genius of Bernhard Willhelm also consists of a great understanding of a large number of aesthetical codes, sometimes coming from pop culture or ethnical origins, which has also influenced the design of this "junk puzzle interior".
Bernhard Willhelm's new store is also a strong political statement, proving that being poor and being rejected by society, still permits to be fashionable/ have beauty ideals.
This shop is the ideal palace for a dandy-homeless.
any dior (shop in Paris)?
