Suppose Design Office contributes to the concept of shoppable hospitality with hotel koé — a retail hotel, located in Tokyo. The arrangement of this new gem in the district of Shibuya is truly a lesson in leveraging a brand's popularity to create a multifunctional platform for business operation. Originally a fashion apparel brand, koé is expanding into the hospitality industry with poise and vigor.
Suppose Design Office embraces the music and culture of the neighborhood. The retail hotel offers the option for customers to grab a bite and even attend live music and dance events on the weekend on the first floor. The second level is where people can shop the koé brand and the third is where the hotel rooms are located.
