NANBOYA IKEBUKURO
Tokyo, Japan / 2015

“Spin”

NAMBOYA is an upscale consignment shop that was born according to the concept of “Reuse makes your life more interesting”.

“Buying and Using” the objects and after that “Selling and Passing” them, there is a reuse culture that puts hearts in objects.

I designed NAMBOYA Ikebukuro Store based on a “Spin” theme.

Spin—to make thread by twisting together cotton, wool, etc.

By knitting wool into the perforated metal wall by hand, I drew in wool the objects and the people’s feelings.

A continuous line drawing in wool from the entrance to the purchase counter represents an idea that spins, in other words connects, all the feelings such as “the feeling of the customer”, “the feeling between the customer and the shop” and “the feeling for the object that will belong with another customer”.

I hope that our hearts will be connected through NAMBOYA.
