Calvin Klein Store
Calvin Klein Inc
Tokyo 1994
The first realised Pawson scheme for Calvin Klein, the Tokyo store
occupies a substantial commercial structure in the heart of the city’s
fashion district. Interior and exterior belong to different worlds, the
entrance acting as a decompression chamber which filters out the visual
chaos which is contemporary Japan and prepares for passage into the
calm white heart of the store. The extensive use of stone and
natural light creates an environment of quiet luxury in which the
clothes become the natural focus of attention.
