Creating attractive store experiences with innovative spatial design from global design firms

BEEATS CO.,LTD. (President: Matahiro Kashiwagi, Chuo-ku, Osaka, hereinafter "BEEATS"), which co-creates retail brand experiences, announces that it has entered into a business partnership with World Mode Holdings Co., Ltd. (CEO: Shinsuke Kafuku, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter "WMH"), which provides various solutions such as personnel, digital marketing, and store operation agency services specialized in the fashion and beauty industries.

Through our collaboration with WMH, BEEATS will strengthen the provision of innovative spatial designs by our partner global design firms in the Japanese market, creating new store experiences.

An era where the value of brand experiences in physical stores is being re-evaluated

While digitalization is progressing and online shopping is spreading, the value of the "experience" gained in physical stores is garnering attention again as something unique. Physical stores, where one can touch products directly and experience a brand's worldview with all five senses, play an important role in building deep relationships of trust with customers.

BEEATS deeply recognizes this value and has created various physical store spaces until now, starting with the first Japanese store for the Korean fashion EC platform "nugu," which receives overwhelming support from the Z generation.

Expanding our network with global design firms

BEEATS has previously partnered with the cutting-edge Korean design team ARKITAG to deploy store designs supported by the Z generation in the Japanese market. Based on this success, we have concluded partnerships in the Japanese market with the New York-based design firms "Ringo Studio" and "BOND." In addition, new partnerships are currently underway, and we will further expand our network of global design firms.

About Ringo Studio

Ringo Studio is a design studio led by Madeline Ringo, who is active worldwide and based in New York. They have handled store designs for "Glossier," "Cider," and "Our Place," and their collaborations with Z-generation brands are highly acclaimed.

Providing attractive store experiences through a business partnership with WMH

Through this business partnership with WMH, BEEATS will further deepen the partnership it has cultivated with global design firms and accelerate the creation of new store experiences. WMH will utilize its extensive network and expertise in the fashion and beauty industries to deploy the creativity of the global design firms that BEEATS partners with into the Japanese market.

Through the cooperation of both companies, we will provide more attractive and new store experiences for customers and maximize the value of physical stores in the Japanese market. We will continue to create innovative spaces and open up new possibilities for physical stores.
Furthermore, looking ahead, we are also considering co-hosting webinars featuring overseas designers and jointly publishing trend reports introducing the latest trends in overseas store design, such as in New York and Seoul. Please look forward to our future developments.

I am happy to be able to further collaborate with everyone at WMH, who leads iDA, with whom we are already working on a platform to support the expansion of Korean brands into Japan. With the normalization of SNS, store performance that can broadcast real brand experiences is sought worldwide.
