The largest Louis Vuitton boutique in the world on Omotesando Avenue Tokyo s answer to the Champs Elysées Conceived by Japanese architect Jun Aoki the 10 storey glass and metal confection features an exhibition space VIP areas and five full floors dedicated to retail sales The LV building is designed in the image of a pile of trunks stacked at random The trunks each representing a unique space are connected with a labyrinth of corridors offering a small journey between trunks The store is an assemblage of various special spaces the basic units are not floors but spaces The shape of all spaces are right angled boxes in various scales proportions and natural light conditions The total shape of the building is the result of piling up the box like shapes The exterior is double layered with three different kinds of metal mesh fabric and two kinds of polished stainless steel panels rose and gold Glass panels with a striped pattern as the inner layer give depth to the appearance By overlaying the silver color of the metal fabric and rose and gold tint of the back panel the color is getting also ambiguous and losing a sense of materiality
