TOKYO 2018 Isetan Mitsukoshi / Kengo Kuma and Associates
Renovation of the historical department store, which is
listed as an important cultural property of Japan. The
interior design concept is “a shining, white forest.” A
pillar-supported “tree canopy” extends throughout the
first floor of the main building and is beautifully
illuminated with a gradation of light to provide a sense
of unity in the retail space. Downlights are mounted
in the geometrical ceiling pattern to emphasize paths
of circulation and host gathering areas for customers.
