Acne Studios, a renowned fashion brand from Sweden, has unveiled its flagship store in the Aoyama district of Tokyo.

Designing the Flagship Store

The store occupies three levels and was crafted in association with Hallerod, an architecture firm based in Stockholm and a long-term collaborator of the brand. The store’s interior is predominantly adorned by pink granite, a signature material in Acne’s retail settings, employed throughout the store’s floors, walls, and fixtures.

Max Lamb, a London-based designer, contributed matching pink sofas made of leather and fabric, adding to the store’s distinctive aesthetic. The lighting was designed by Parisian Benoit Lalloz, further enhancing the store’s unique ambiance.

Collaborations & Collections

The basement of the store features ceramic works by Takuro Kuwata, a renowned Japanese artist. These pieces were curated as part of a collaboration spearheaded by Acne’s creative director, Jonny Johansson. This partnership also resulted in a capsule collection that reimagines traditional Acne pieces. The collection includes denim, bags, and small leather goods.

Store Offerings

The flagship store houses the complete range of Acne Studios products. Shoppers can find men’s and women’s clothing, footwear, accessories, jewelry, and eyewear, offering a comprehensive Acne Studios shopping experience.
