Gehry designs Miyake store - Front Page - Brief Article
Art in America, Dec, 2001
In mid-October, innovative Japanese clothing designer Issey Miyake opened a flagship store with an interior designed by Frank Gehry, working with architect Gordon Kipping, in New York's Tribeca neighborhood. The opening, originally scheduled for mid-September, was delayed due to the attack on the nearby World Trade Center.
Located in a cast-iron building at 119 Hudson St., the facility contains 15,000 square feet on three levels, including offices and storage facilities. The two-level, 7,500-square-foot retail space is unified by a glass-floor perimeter that reveals the lower floor. Gehry's signature undulating titanium forms snake throughout the space. Plans call for new work by young artists to be shown on a rotating basis. The first installation is a figurative mural on the rear wall by Alejandro Gehry, the architect's son.
