The collaboration with Lucien Pellat-Finet, a fashion designer named and known as "King of cashmere", started with the request that a space be made using organic materials.

The Frenchman Lucien suggested the concept to be "a Japanese-style gallery" and myself, a Japanese, proposed to express the "softness of cashmere", the charm of the delicate material. While each context was mixed, the project went on as if weaving a piece of cloth, and it came to fruition where one piece of soft skin rose from the floor, as a brand new atmosphere for lucien pellat-finet. To express a soft cloth, I chose structural plywood, a material generally used for architectural structures. By cutting and bringing down these casual materials carefully in order to draw a curve, and placing them equally from the edge, we created a Japanese-touch luxury space.

As Lucien Pellat-finet wishes to expand his high-end cashmere line on the street, his collaboration was led to a success by a mixture of luxury and street fashion style.
