TUMI’s first Asia-Pacific flagship store in Omotesando, Tokyo, Japan.

(L to R): Victor Sanz, Creative Director of TUMI and Takumi Kitamura, Japanese actor and singer, unveiled TUMI's first Asia-Pacific Flagship Store in Omotesando with a celebratory Japanese Kagami-Biraki ceremony.

Unique and visually striking, the ground-level flagship store spans over 2,000 square feet and features a variety of exciting design elements. The signature contours of the 19 Degree collection come to life on the 3D facade featuring hundreds of LED lights and over 250 aluminum fins and interior pillars created with an edge curve cutting technique. Inside, the 19 Degree Aluminum sculpture by perceptual artist Michael Murphy creates an illusion of a 19 Degree Aluminum piece morphing into the TUMI "T" logo as viewers walk around it.

Sleek T-shaped touches appear on all the floor fixtures, while the innovative use of materials includes marble flooring and a stylish blend of hairline and polished stainless steel. Other features include curved fixture edges that create a warm ambience, an art gallery-inspired circular seating area with a full-height digital display, and a magnetic wall with seasonal-themed rotations for added dimension on top of the 19 Degree Aluminum Sculpture by Michael Murphy.

"We are thrilled to unveil TUMI's newly designed store in Omotesando. Not only is it our first flagship store in Asia-Pacific, but it's also one of our most ground-breaking store concepts globally. We've taken the superior quality, design excellence and technical innovation that defines TUMI and created a completely unique design that is inspired by our 19 Degree collection. From the sculptural 3D facade to the upgraded materials, each carefully planned detail and element speaks to TUMI's brand DNA," said Victor Sanz, Creative Director of TUMI.
