The retail location belongs to [CASETiFY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildside-yohji-yamamoto-2), a brand known for its [customizable tech accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-martina-calvi-collection). For the interior of the space, CASETiFY wanted to emulate "the futuristic identity of the Shinsaibashi neighborhood" and in order to do so, it tapped the vision of Hong Kong-based architect Andre Fu. The phone accessories store features a clean-cut design across two floors, with a sophisticated color palette of cream, red, and pink. Andre Fu drew inspiration from traditional Japanese Shoji lanterns to create a design that showcases the interplay of light and shadows while also staying true to the shop's location. The space will host various events and exhibitions to promote Japanese culture. The CASETiFY store also includes a hidden shoji window for delivering customer orders efficiently.
