Trading Museum: A New Concept-Store-Museum by CDG

[BerlinRocks]

Is the new very exciting project by COMME des GARÇONs in TOKYO.

But what is a "Trading Museum"?

Museums can be of many kinds and be founded for many purposes, such as a recreation, study, education, tourism and even for civic pride.
Trade has probably existed in one form or another for about 150.000 years. The realm of trading is where mankind's most significant meetings take place, bringing together all kinds of people, randomly and deliberately.

TRADING MUSEUM COMME des GARÇONS is the space where two above mentioned notions come together.

The Concept: the design and the furniture are by REI KAWAKUBO including 8 antique wooden show cabinets from The Victioria & Albert Museum.

The Products: For sale or for display including - CdG x The Beatles, archive jewelries from Christian Astuguevieille, Stephen Jones black vintage feather hats, vintage CdG exhibition, edited selection of CdG lines, CdG SHIRT made to order, CdG Six bibliotheca with T-Shirts specially made for Trading Museum plus many many more!

it's a store in Tokyo, they call it Trading Museum because there's piece from old CdG collection which actually can only see and not buy and the new Beatles x CdG collection which you can buy and some very special T-shirts made especially for the new store inspired from SIX magazine (a magazine that CdG used to publish a long time ago)
