The store is open and bright, and the furniture is arranged without intention, fostering a forest-like atmosphere of forking paths. Most crucial to this schema is the transparent and porous fa\u00e7ade.

district in Tokyo was completed by OMA in 2013. After previously debuting a modular display system for Coach in New York, OMA used the design of this Tokyo building to showcase their invention in an expanded framework. Here the display strategy embodies the entire composition of the fa\u00e7ade. The storefront acts as a large display case for the full line of Coach products, each with a singular herringbone showcase. The textured nature of the display framework appears translucent internally, making the fa\u00e7ade an effective enclosure which retains the conceptually transparent view towards Coach merchandise.<\/p>\n<p><b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese youths\u2019 infatuation for cosplay and vibrant make-up is on full display in the convivial streets of Harajuku, but just blocks away in the Omotesando district of Tokyo, another cosmetic trend characteristic of the Japanese has osmosed its way onto the fa\u00e7ades of Tokyo\u2019s high-end retailers.
