On February 1, 2020, Louis Vuitton will open their new Osaka Midosuji store.
The elegant and intriguing design is inspired by Osaka’s history as a port town.
Inside the Osaka Location’s dramatic façade, the building is comprised of 7 floors, the first 4 of which are designed by the NY-based interior designer Peter Marino.
Above that, the Osaka Louis Vuitton will house their first ever café & restaurant, produced by renowned chef Yosuke Suga.
It’s a beautiful building that not only pays homage to Osaka’s history, but also references the Louis Vuitton Foundation in France, designed by architect Frank Gehry.
