トラフ建築設計事務所による、大阪市の店舗「THE NORTH FACE FOOTWEAR SHINSAIBASHI」です。
フットウエアに特化したショップの計画です。建築家は、製品との関係を“身体的なスケール”に引寄せる為、石と木の角柱を井桁状に組んだ“展示台でありベンチにもなる”什器を考案しました。また、光膜天井や全面鏡の操作で空間に広がりも生み出しています。店舗の場所はこちら（Google Map）。
QUARTZ SHINSAIBASHIにて、フットウエアに特化したTHE NORTH FACEのコンセプトショップを設計した。
A concept shop dedicated to footwear for THE NORTH FACE was designed in QUARTZ SHINSAIBASHI. The space translates the brand’s philosophy—of people and gear evolving together in response to ever-changing environments—into a spatial experience through materiality and physical engagement.
At the center, a generous void frames a lattice composition of 290 mm square columns in stone and wood. Juxtaposing elements of different origins—raw stone blocks and vertically laminated timber—the fixtures function both as display platforms and benches, bringing the relationship with the products to a bodily scale.
A testing area incorporating the undulating surface of Aji stone allows visitors to perceive environmental variation through the soles of the shoes. Lightly composed walls, a continuous luminous ceiling, and a full-height mirror seamlessly connect sightlines and depth, expanding the spatial perception.
Centered around a counter made of Kiso cypress bark board, functions such as measurement, customization, and repair are integrated, restructuring the acts of choosing, using, and updating into a continuous experience.
The brand’s philosophy is embodied as space.
