Founded in 2004 by designer Junichi Abe, "kolor" is a unique brand that combines craftsmanship based on reliable techniques such as patterning and sewing with creative use of color and innovative materials.

"kolor Marunouchi" will be located on Marunouchi Nakadori Avenue in Tokyo, an innovative district with the power to transmit information from Japan to the world, and a unique balance of historical architecture and culture that can only be found in this area.

From the entrance, a side wall with a sculptural perspective hangs back and forth, inviting and naturally catching the eye of guests. The structure of the store is like a runway and gallery space, making it a place where kolor's clothes are more attractive. The gradation of light produced by the sharpened metal is not only well designed, but also durable, and the use of galvanizing, which is considered energy efficient and environmentally friendly in the manufacturing process, builds a sustainable future while minimizing environmental impact.

And the plastered floor will also evoke kolor's unique philosophy of craftsmanship in contrast to the metallic beauty of the walls. The carefully selected materials and the proven skills of the craftsmen create a refined space where serenity and beauty coexist in harmony, and where just being there is enough to fill your heart with contentment.

Guests who visit the new "kolor Marunouchi" will be able to experience the world of kolor through all five senses, and will be able to feel the beauty of time and something new at every moment of their visit.
