Mr Porter x Beams is a minimalist space located in London, England, designed by Schemata Architects. The Japanese fashion company Beams has been introducing fashion products selected from the world to Japanese consumers for 40 years. This time, Beams, in collaboration with Mr Porter, a global leading menswear style and e-commerce destination in London, held a joint show “Mr Porter x Beams”, as a part of the “Beams Japan” project aiming to introduce Japanese products to the world, and the architects were asked to design the exhibition. Their request was to create a strong impression to promote their endeavor as well as effectively displaying products. The designers took inspiration from traditional clothes drying poles, originally used to sundry laundry at home, and transformed them into new display fixtures. Arrays of clothes drying poles provoke an image of a good old neighborhood of common people in Japan.
