Hirotaka's 5th flagship store opens in Kobe, Japan on November 12th, 2021. Located in “Kobe Daimaru”, one of the finest shopping centers in the city, it is a special place filled with historic buildings that blend European and Japanese sensibilities.
Designed to be in harmony with the surrounding area, visitors can fully immerse themselves in the World of Hirotaka and move around the space as if it were an art gallery. The interior features natural materials: wood, onyx, and carved rocks that show off their intricate formation lines. The jewelry collections are housed in large glass boxes, off center, but balanced on top of modern shaped platforms. The centerpiece is a wood structure hand painted by skilled lacquer artisans and the large solid steel wall is tarnished to the color of red rust and bends to mimic a spiral seashell.
Hirotaka Kobe will introduce an exclusive collection featuring precious stones in a variety of materials. For the opening, new styles “Totem” and “Cascade” will debut. The international audience will be able to see and shop the line at hiro-taka.com.
