tokyo-based designer yusuke seki has completed ‘nakagawa masashichi shoten-gai’ a retail outlet installed within a shopping mall in the japanese capital. reinterpreting traditional ‘shoten-gai’, – commercial streets which often run along the country’s railway stations – the design has been developed to reflect a typical marketplace. the layout comprises an array of utensils, furniture displays, categorized brands of socks, handkerchiefs and household merchandise, promoting local designers and companies.
each unit within the scheme represents a different brand, featuring products from a variety of districts from across the country. electric signboards, often found within more conventional ‘shoten-gai’, ensure a distinct and identifiable project, forming a key element of the design.
