ARCHITECTURE & FASHION

AOKI JUN & LOUIS VUITTON

Once again has their cooperation provided the world of architecture with an unique iconic design. The existing LV store in the Ginza district of Tokio has received a new quality skin. The facade has been designed as a perforated shell based on the brand's monogram and in reference to Art Deco design, which Ginza used to be famous for.

The new facade received its lacy motif thanks to the perforated sheets of aluminum fixed in two layers. The sheets have been coated with a pearlised fluropolymer paint known for its durability. Another elegant expression of impressed patterns is revealed at night, while the LED lights behind the reliefs lit the facade.
