Italian fashion label No. 21 (Milan) is opening its first store. The 1830-square-foot unit will be located in Tokyo’s prestigious Omotesando district.

Designed by architect Hannes Peer, the entrance has a raw, unfinished look with concrete walls and flooring, while the interior features a black-and-white floor, a polycarbonate ceiling and mirrored displays inspired by the works of contemporary artists Reinhard Mucha and Damien Hirst, according to Women’s Wear Daily. Strong references to the latter can be seen in an art deco table cut into six slices that are put into glass boxes.
