What a great idea!

Just a quick post - had to share these photos of the Comme des Garcons shop in Kobe, Japan. The feature was in an old issue of World of Interiors, [Sept 06] and I had bookmarked it as I think it was such an innovative idea. Typical of Rei Kawakubo. Photos of grand palaces from past issues of the magazine were blown up to life size images and papered onto the walls. The rooms are linked by irregular shaped openings through which one can see other images. Love it!
