Our Legacy Opens New Tokyo Flagship Store
Swedish fashion label Our Legacy opened its new flagship store in Daikanyama on Sunday November 8.
Store Design and Architecture
The space occupies a former apartment inside a 1969 brutalist building at 11-21 Sarugakucho, Shibuya-ku. Creative director Cristopher Nying collaborated with architecture studio Profan to transform the location into a gallery and retail destination. Inside, the space retains its unadorned structure with visible cables, pipes, and air vents set within a homey mix of stone and concrete. Akane Moriyama, a textile collaborator, presented custom silk curtains that were treated with beeswax and stained using coffee and dirt.
Artifacts and Art Installations
The gallery displays 17th- and 18th-century allmoge utilitarian objects alongside 1970s and 1980s punk artifacts from Stockholm. Works of kinetic art created by Swedish creator Tobias Bradford feature pieces such as Third Person, which displays a video game looping endlessly, alongside Oro // Worry. A reconstructed lavatory fitting room displays vintage perfume bottles while translucent fiberglass partitions are inspired by Bruno Mathsson.
Retail Offerings and Atelier
This site features a specialized OUR LEGACY WORK SHOP studio focused on transforming leftover fabrics into new products. The shop displays its full range of men's and women's apparel, shoes, accessories, plus an item catalog. Archival leather jackets from 118 Läder join customized folk costumes and fanzines within the retail environment.
