kolor Shinsaibashi PARCO Store to Reopen on June 12, 2026 (Fri)

The kolor Shinsaibashi PARCO store is proud to announce its grand reopening with a refreshed concept. As the third phase of the mall’s large-scale renovation, the store has relocated to the 2nd floor and officially reopened on Friday, June 12, 2026.

Interior design is led by DAIKEI MILLS, the Tokyo-based studio behind SKWAT SITE—a must-visit hotspot for global art and design professionals. This follows their previous work on the kolor Shibuya PARCO store. Store fixtures and garment racks are designed by KWANGHO LEE, the acclaimed South Korean product designer who recently contributed to spatial installations at this year’s Venice Biennale. This marks his first collaboration with a Japanese fashion brand.

At the kolor Shinsaibashi PARCO store, the rigid, linear space crafted by DAIKEI MILLS harmonizes with the warmth and organic curves of KWANGHO LEE’s handcrafted designs, resulting in a unique environment where tension and softness coexist. This concept—reinterpreting existing materials with new perspectives to create novel value—resonates deeply with kolor’s brand DNA, creating a truly distinctive retail experience.

To commemorate the reopening, select pieces from the 26AW collection will be released in advance, along with exclusive limited-edition items.

Kwangho Lee

Kwangho Lee is an artist based in Seoul and Jeju Island. He studied metalcraft and design at Hongik University, focusing on the materiality of industrial materials like metal, and the tactile processes involved in working with them. By weaving and knotting industrial materials such as electrical wires, PVC, and ropes, he transforms them into organic, lifelike forms. His artistic inspiration stems from his rural childhood and his grandparents’ self-sufficient lifestyle, crafting tools from natural materials.

Recently, he has incorporated Chilbo, a traditional Korean enamelware technique, blending the spontaneity of fire and heat with repetitive manual labor to explore new material expressions. Through acts of weaving, knotting, and layering, he imbues industrial materials with organic vitality, continuously questioning the relationships between material and body, labor and existence.

They approach existing spaces and future functions with sincerity, seamlessly connecting sculptural forms with simple floor plans and utilizing materials with exceptional craftsmanship to create site-specific environments that can only exist in that particular location. Since 2020, they have initiated the 'SKWAT' movement, temporarily occupying urban voids—vacant facilities and social gaps—and opening them to the public through various methods.
