Located in Daikanyama, the maze-like location blurs the boundaries between a private residence, a gallery and a retail space. Designed by Cristopher Nying together with long-term partner Profan, Our Legacy Tokyo preserves the brutalist character of the 1969 building.

At the heart of the raw interior is an extensive collection of Scandinavian utilitarian folk objects and furniture from the 17th and 18th century known as allmoge. In his curation, Nying draws a connection between these and Japanese craftsmanship, contrasting them with elements of the punk movement of the ’70s and ’80s. Swedish and Norwegian folk costumes upcycled with patches, studs and pins, vintage leather jackets and early Swedish punk fanzines bring the two worlds together in a shared expression of folk- and counterculture.

The store also presents a section dedicated to OUR LEGACY WORK SHOP, where its atelier reengineers residual Our Legacy fabrics, transforming deadstock into new pieces.
