CARESE Marunouchi
for CARESE CO.
Nov.2023 / Tokyo
This is an antique watch specialty shop with an in-house repair workshop, located along Marunouchi Nakadori. Antique watches have transcended time, carrying within them the memories and stories of their owners as they have been passed down through generations. While preserving the essence of bygone eras, they continue to mark new time and weave new narratives for the future. At CARESE Marunouchi, our design theme revolves around visualizing this unseen "time." The brass leaf applied to the walls gradually changes in color, mirroring the passage of time, much like the transformation of antique watches over the years. The central fixture uses stone to express the process of refinement, transitioning from a rough, natural form to a polished state. Its rich textures also evoke a sense of "time" within the space.
Amid the sophisticated streets of Marunouchi, the store aspires to create a space that leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.
