oniki adds stage with laminated glass steps within clothing store interior in japan

located within the omotesando area in tokyo, japan, oniki design studio (ODS) has completed the design for the ‘studious’ apparel select shop. standing among several other clothing stores, the two-floor boutique has been designed to showcase all the latest trends efficiently and to attract fashion-conscious people. 

on the first floor of the fully-glazed building by oniki design studio, right at the entrance, there is a stage where various events can be held – such as a limited-time pop-up store. glass and hollow polycarbonate sheets were selected as the main materials in order to form a transparent and open-plan space. the steps of the stage and the base of the clothes racks are made of laminated glass plates (15mm thick), and a large light fixture installed on the ceiling is a combination of LED tubes and hollow polycarbonate boards.

at the top of the stairs along a golden painted wall, a more serene space unfolds. on the second floor, a large semi-circular pillar with displays stands in the center, where white ceiling strips surface and a blue carpet spreads out. the wall in the back combines a mirror with hollow polycarbonate boards -same with the ones used on the first level- generating a soft, reflective finish. this small space was designed with the symbolic pillar as the centerpiece, so that the whole scene emerges and develops dramatically around it.
