Japan is always seen as a fore runner for design and innovation when it comes to retail stores. Adding to mountain of evidence in support of this is the new Patrick Cox boutique in Tokyo.
Basing its entire premise on three elements - the circle shape, lighting and the colour white - Japanese designer Chikara Ohno creates an absolutely stunning store that showcases Cox’s product effectively. Using three very simple pieces in very simple ways allows the space to speak for itself.
