This is a project for a directly managed store by Seiban Co., Ltd., well-known for their "Angel's Wings" school bags. Our company was in charge of the relocation work from the former Sannomiya store to Kobe Harborland umie. There are 12 directly managed stores nationwide, each employing a unique concept design concept that strongly reflects the characteristics of its region. This time, drawing inspiration from Kobe Port, which is close to the store, we adopted "SEIBAN KOBE SHIPYARD" as concept design concept and constructed the store concept design using key motifs such as containers, ships, and trusses. We envisioned a fun space that evokes the excitement of children's new journey and the start of their elementary school life. At the directly managed store, in addition to being able to try on a wide variety of school bags, there is a fitting room called "FITTING LABO" that reproduces natural light in the morning, noon, and evening to help you imagine actual usage scenes, and a photo spot zone where you can take commemorative photos with container-style fixtures as a backdrop, so it is full of features that make choosing a school bag and creating memories even more enjoyable.
