Jacob Cohen opened its newest boutique inside Ginza Six in Tokyo, a mixed-use complex with 47'000 sqm of retail space featuring high-end boutiques targeting both foreign tourists and domestic customers.

The 13-story complex hosts a total of 241 shops, including flagship outlets for several international brands.
The exterior design of Ginza Six was inspired by traditional Japanese "noren" entrance curtains, while the interior is meant to offer a culture-rich experience with Japanese contemporary art and scenes of nature. Cohen’s boutique designed by Area-17 provides a minimalistic environment of classical elegance, where refined furniture and details enhance the display of the iconic luxury denim.

Designed by Area-17 to make the most of the modest proportions, this urban interior has a cozy and nonchalant appeal. The almost industrial atmosphere is warmed up by thoughtfully placed oriental accents. Textures and neutral colors create dynamic interrelations among the clean surfaces of the walls, ceilings, and roof.
