Our Legacy Fuses Scandinavian Folk, '70s Punk, and Brutalism in New Tokyo Flagship

Swedish fashion label Our Legacy has officially unveiled its long-awaited Tokyo flagship, opening November 8, in the historic Daikanyama district. Conceived by creative director Cristopher Nying in collaboration with architecture studio Profan, the space occupies a former apartment within a 1969 brutalist building, intentionally blurring the boundaries between a private residence, an art gallery, and a retail destination.

Preserving the raw anatomy of the structure, the interior highlights exposed cords, ducts, and ventilation shafts against a domestic palette of entrance stone, cozy carpeting, concrete, and wooden floors. Textile collaborator Akane Moriyama introduced custom silk curtains treated with beeswax and stained with coffee and dirt, contrasted by translucent fiberglass partitions inspired by Swedish modernist Bruno Mathsson. The residence-like ambiance is deepened by kinetic sculptures from Swedish artist Tobias Bradford—including Third Person playing a video game on loop and Oro // Worry—alongside a reconstructed lavatory fitting room displaying vintage perfume bottles.

Bridging Scandinavian folk heritage with countercultural expression, the store houses a museum-like gallery filled with 17th- and 18th-century allmoge utilitarian objects juxtaposed against 1970s and ’80s punk artifacts, including customized folk costumes, fanzines, and archival leather jackets from Stockholm’s 118 Läder. The location also introduces a dedicated OUR LEGACY WORK SHOP atelier for upcycling deadstock textiles, presenting the complete ready-to-wear menswear, womenswear, footwear, and accessory lines alongside an inventory object catalogue.

Our Legacy Tokyo officially opens its doors at 11-21 Sarugakucho, Shibuya-ku, on Sunday, November 8.
