LUPICIA Takamatsu Marugame

A shop specializing in teas from around the world, featuring Japanese lattice and shoji motifs

  • Commercial Spaces

This is a shop specialising in teas from around the world, incorporating Japanese latticework and shoji screen motifs. <br /> <br /> Inspired by the tea leaf collection in a storehouse, tea boxes are displayed in a latticework that reaches all the way to the ceiling, conveying the overwhelming volume of the tea varieties on offer. All of the more than 240 types of tea samples available in the shop can be picked up, enjoyed and smelled. Within the soft space created by light and colour, we have incorporated mechanisms that stimulate the senses of sight, touch and smell in a changing way.
