H&M, Harajuku Tokyo

The H&M Harajuku Tokyo store is a fitting addition to modern upscale stores of Tokyo that look to architecture rather than billboards and window displays to sell their products. Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons designed this project, which was completed in late 2008.

A warm entry invites customers inside. The blocks of white and transparencies stack loosely atop each other to form a very clean-looking and adaptable form. The building’s form itself portrays the contemporary event that results from collaborative designers.
