‘pleats please issey miyake/ aoyama’ store was reopened on 1 september, 2009. the project redesign by tokujin yoshioka has been carried out based on the conservation of the interior, which he had designed before by using recycled aluminum material initially developed as an auto-part.

issey miyake’s concept was to reincarnate the space as ‘pleats please issey miyake’ by conserving the existing space with recycled aluminum in order to have it transcend time.

‘my proposal to his (issey miyake) conception is to use a huge lighting wall. the lighting wall serves to accentuate the nature of the material and interfuses modern technology and light.’ – tokujin yoshioka
