Nimbus is a scarf and lifestyle shop located in Katsuyama City.This building was originally a house designed by Arata Isozaki in 1985. The exposed concrete frame (1050mm grid and ceiling dome) with strong formality of the existing Isozaki architecture is likened to "heaven", and the activities of people under it are likened to "earth". The intention was to create a flexible product display with soft variability, such as scarves and miscellaneous goods floating between heaven and earth like clouds. (Large table that can be recombined, round rings on the wall for hanging wires)
