Traditional and contemporary design elegantly dovetail at a new space displaying the works of one of Japan’s most innovative creators. Opening Saturday, Issey Miyake Kyoto — which carries Homme Plisse Issey Miyake, Issey Miyake Men and Bao Bao Issey Miyake — is housed in a 132-year-old “machiya” renovated by celebrated product designer Naoto Fukasawa. The building’s original wood beams and Fukasawa’s subdued color palate beautifully play the foil to Miyake’s bold, high-tech creations. In addition to the retail space, Issey Miyake Kyoto features a traditional “kura” (storehouse), which is showcasing ensembles inspired by graphic designer Ikko Tanaka for the space’s launch.
