Illuminate / Illuminated
‘CADUNE’ is a slang term for 'clair de lune = moonlight' and the name of the brand that the concept is accompanying women as they change like the phases of the moon.
Since ancient times, the phase of the moon has been deeply connected to people’s lives. The moon does not emit light itself, but appears when illuminated by the sun. The moon has two parts: one that is illuminated (visible from Earth) and one that is not illuminated (shadow, not visible from Earth), and the phases of the moon can be observed from Earth over time.
We therefore questioned the relationship and balance between the illuminated (visible) and unilluminated (shadow, invisible) elements. The illuminated elements would stand out since there are unilluminated elements. We thought it would be possible to focus on the beauty of overlooked (unilluminated, invisible) elements, such as the inside of walls, equal to the beauty of the surface (illuminated, visible) elements.
1. The plan was to expose the frame walls and columns, which would normally be finished and hidden, in order to highlight them. The traces of the accumulated structure (past ink marks, brush marks, welding marks, etc.) are revealed, and the story of the past and the history of the building can be imagined.
2. The ceiling plan is half skeleton and half flat, with the back of the flat ceiling peeping through the skeleton part. The shadows above the flat ceiling are designed to enhance the light in the space.
3. Materials such as stones left over during construction, stones discarded at the factory and timber that has been cut down and left as hazardous trees are actively used and incorporated as shop fixtures and furniture. Artificial curves and curves created by nature coexist in the space; such as the large shelf fixtures with a mixture of artificial and natural curves (stainless round pipe and natural stones) in the centre of the first floor, create a natural circulation that leads customers towards the back of the shop.
4. As a display decoration on the shelves, glass works using items not normally seen, such as defective materials and defective parts of scientific glass, were used.
6. The second floor was designed as a communication space. The space embodies the idea that to grow a shop, it is important not only to have a sales floor, but also a place for communication, such as by organising events, customer relations and a live social networking space.
We believe that illuminating objects and environments that are not normally exposed to light will change the value and way of thinking of these objects and environment, and lead to new discoveries, awareness and a deeper interest in them. It will also have the effect of illuminating for visitors new aspects of themselves that they may have overlooked or failed to notice.
CADUNE aims to shine its light on “Kotto-dori” where CADUNE is located and objects and values have gathered for a long time, proposing new values.
