Recyclable Retail [Edit]

The NoStore store is a “recyclable” retail space located in Shanghai’s Metro that offers artists retail space for just one week.  As a result, the contents and theme of the store change every week.  The concept is dynamic and also provides artisans with an accessible outlet for their unique products.  The store typically features items like hand-painted T-shirts and socks-turned into dolls.

From the introduction to the concept, NoStore clearly tries to attract Metro commuting office ladies who only have 5 minutes to spend in the shop.

It promises surprise treasures to be discovered within the four square meters shop space, and at an afforable price. Art made accessible.  This is yet a very new happening. There are plans to roll out the concept in more Metro stations.
