It was love at first sight when I saw images of the new Undercover shop in Kanazawa by fashion designer, Jun Takahashi, and interior designer, Kazuya Sasaki. The Japanese brand’s ninth boutique is based on the interior design of its flagship in Aoyama.

Both spaces are characterized by their beautiful light bulb infused ceilings, without a doubt the most striking feature. Even though they first did this in July 2009, it is still painfully fresh. They allowed the this ethereal looking installation to take center stage by keeping the rest of the interior minimal and muted. The Dieter Rams audio equipment and shelving, along with industrial detailing, perfectly compliment the overall look.

My only problem with this project is that I probably won’t get to see it firsthand any time soon.
