Introducing the history of the mizuiro ind Kobe store.
The store was set up at Tor Road, which can be said to be the center of Kobe's shopping road.
This building, chosen as the store of Mizuiro Ind, which can be said to be the flagship store, is a very old and precious building.
It was the building of a company called "Kanan Kogeisha."
Kawanan Kogeisha was founded in 1880.
This building was built in 1937, a long-standing company that deals in Western furniture and imported goods.
This building has been built in this area since before the war and has lived with the city for a long time, making it a valuable presence in telling the history of the city.
It is a three-story reinforced bar, and has Art Deco style decorations, which were said to be popular at the time, and brown bricks that retain the appearance of the time.
This precious building has been making history and keeping watch over the changes in the city, with three round windows lined up regularly.
The basic idea is to make use of the interior of a store, such as parts of the building itself, and carefully repair the necessary parts.
After thinking about how to instill the identity of a mizuiro ind, I decided to join with plasterer Kusumi Ario.
Kusumi is a craftsman who also handles walls and other designs.
A rare plasterer who can restore and restore traditional buildings both domestically and internationally, as well as to restore buildings with high historical value such as important cultural properties.
Kusumi's works are expressed in the ceiling of the store.
Although we don't usually work on ceilings, we have known this Kawanan Building for a long time and received requests from her because she liked it.
If you add thickness to the ceiling with a plasterer, it will fall under the force of gravity, so timing is said to be quite difficult.
We have them use our own techniques and ideas to finish it.
This is a point that you should definitely pay attention to when you visit as an artistic part of the store that blends in with the building and shows its attention to detail.
The building consists of 1st and 2nd floors.
The first floor has glass windows and antique doors at the entrance, and as you enter the store you will see a clean, white worldview.
The stairs, walls and distinctive building details are designed to make the most of the original parts.
The second floor is divided into two spaces.
The first is the space that operates the dress line of mizuiro ind.
You can choose your dress slowly in a chic atmosphere that is quiet and relaxed.
The other space has a different atmosphere from the first floor, and the clothes are displayed in a space that combines three textures of warm wood, concrete that makes use of the exposed structure, and blue accent walls.
In order to feel the identity of mizuiro ind, you can enjoy shopping in a spacious space, not only the full lineup is available, but you can also enjoy your leisurely shopping.
