KLUVER IN OSAKA x TRES BIRDS X NOBUO ARAKI
15.11.07
Our close friend and ally Mike Moore over at tres birds workshop has been doing a great deal of retail store design for Burton Snowboards. If you don’t know about tres birds workshop by now, you should take a look. When CP+B moved to town they pulled in Mr. Moore and his team to design and build a number of installations and custom pieces of furniture. The tres birds team has been designing and building out retail environments for Burton all over the place. They’re currently “in progress” on both the Vail store and the Los Angeles store. They redesigned the interior of the Irvine store back in August and their Chicago store opened in September (I visited the Chicago store just after it’s opening and can validate it’s awesomeness).
Very recently Burton’s Osaka store, designed by Japanese architect Nobuo Araki opened at twice the size of their Tokyo store with contributions from the tres birds team. Moore called in our good friend Kristian Kluver at the last minute to whip up some ceiling graphics and complete the airy/floaty feeling the shop aimed at evoking. Kluver created a number of potential concept illustrations, and while the one chosen by Burton was not his personal favorite, we’ve gotta say it’s fuckin’ dope to have a collab happening over in Japan between two of our close friends and one of Japan’s most progressive architects.
