Gemmyo
Jingumae, Shibuya, Japan
Design for the first store in Japan for GEMMYO, a Parisian jewelry brand.
Aiming for a fusion of Japanese and French styles, we designed the store to combine design elements from each region while avoiding specific decoration, such as octagonal cedar columns reminiscent of columns with a marble ceiling and French heribbon flooring.
In addition, the columns were positioned to create a nested structure by hanging post and beam within the space, allowing the interior to stand on its own. By structuring the plan with these pillars as visual boundaries, the relationship between structure and interior space, which is inherent in Japanese architecture, is reproduced.
The facade is decorated with custom-made Kyo Karakami paper, which has been made in Kyoto for over 300 years, and textiles from Nishijin brocade.
The main display of jewelry is placed on a pedestal made of broken and polished Rokko stones, expressing the image of rough stones being dug out of the earth and polished to become jewelry.
