About the Project

Overview This is the flagship store for Tsuchiya Kaban's new brand, "depsoa." Based on the theme of "Mode x Energetic," it creates a dynamic space reminiscent of a skate park. Embodying the concept of "Go as you feel," it elevates the process of choosing a school bag from a mere purchase to an active experience where children trust their own instincts, make their choices, and gain the "confidence" to step into the future.
Issues/Themes While inheriting the current brand's commitment to authenticity, it aims to create a fashionable and energetic world that stimulates children's impulses. It combines high levels of safety that affirm children's freedom of movement with sharp, edgy designs.
Space Solution/Realization The sense of dynamism is translated into the curved shapes of the skate park, Spatial Production an exhilarating feeling that stimulates a sense of adventure. The contrast between plasterwork and precise stainless steel elevates the brand's commitment to authenticity into a modern fashion statement. Thorough corner treatment and robustness of the fixtures ensure safety without compromising the design. Through the power of design, we have created an active experience where children can trust their own instincts, make choices, and gain "confidence" for the future.
