Located in Ginza, Tokyo, this palace of retail reflection is covered in thousands of stainless-steel reliefs that create the illusion of actual crystal reflecting the urban landscape that surrounds. Designed by Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshiok’

I found this interesting store design on the Yanko Design website. I think Swarovski have made a bold statement with this store in Japan. It is unique, and would standard out on any high street. It also represents the Swarovski brand well. I have a great interest in all forms of design, including storefront decoration and architecture. The different methods used to promote a brand, ranging from logo design to the actual location, are all important parts of a brand’s identity.
