KOZIMO JAPAN

Inspired by jeans of the Kojima street in
Japan, the client wanted their first wholesale denim
store of their Bangalore based start-up brand ‘Kozimo
Japan’ to be located in Ernakulam.
Client requirements included a leisure sitting
area and a discussion area. The store had to be designed
by taking into account the different requirements
for a wholesale store, while respecting the brand.
Programs are divided into three areas. Customers will
enter into a display and lobby area before moving towards
the reception desk. The storeroom is
situated privately beside the billing area, and will be
accessible only by the staff.
The Site had existing shelves placed directly on
the floor slab below the finish floor level. We decided not
to cover the exposed floor and new shelves were fixed
in alignmnet to that area. Since the brand colour was
red, we had to use it attentively and green indoor plants
were placed to balance the brightness of the red.
A natural touch is given by adding plants, stones, and
earth materials. Exposed finishes used in
certain areas and lights placed in
precise positions helped to evoke a sensory feeling.
