The largest LV flagship store in Japan - the beauty of "sail" ✨

Louis Vuitton (LV), a top fashion brand, has built its largest flagship store in the world in Osaka, Japan, which is the pinnacle of the fusion of fashion and architecture. The exterior of this flagship store was designed by architect Jun Aoki, and the interior design was done by New York design giant Peter Marino. The design is inspired by sailing ships, a subtle nod to Osaka’s long tradition as an important port in Japan. The bright, white building constructed by Jun Aoki was inspired by the bulging sails of the ancient Higaki ships, which once carried cargo between Osaka and Tokyo (formerly known as Edo). The metal hollow patterns on the bottom floor of the building add a sense of purity to the facade, as if a boat is floating leisurely on the water. Stepping into the store, Peter Marino continues the sailboat theme. The flour floor looks like a deck, and the wooden pillars and metal ceiling give it the feel of a large yacht out on the sea. At the same time, traditional Japanese wood products, origami and paper elements are cleverly embellished in each space, exuding a unique charm in both the hall and the corners. In addition, there are LV’s first cafe and restaurant – le café V and sugarabo V. The cocktail bar of le café V is located on the top floor. The terrace is adjacent to the distinctive "cocoon" bar, making it a must-see destination for fashion lovers. #Osaka Shopping Guide
