Gridded steel facade evokes bamboo forest at Hermès store in Tokyo

Dezeen

The 488-square-metre store is the first freestanding Hermès outlet in Tokyo since the brand opened its Ginza emporium in 2001, which was also designed by RDAI. Small window displays are incorporated into the patterned cladding, along with lighting that illuminates the stonework at night. A dramatic staircase is a focal point.
