The Seibu Ikebukuro Main Store is scheduled to undergo a grand reopening in the summer of 2025. Seibu Ikebukuro, known for always being at the forefront of trends, will introduce a new design with a wide range of products in both the women’s and men’s categories under the theme of “INCLUSION,” reflecting the diverse and flexible nature of the modern era.
The store will depart from the traditional department store format, where women’s and men’s floors are separated, to create a free, open, and unified space. This redesign will allow various customers, including friends, couples, and families, to enjoy shopping together seamlessly.
GARDE is responsible for the concept design, including both interior and exterior elements, for this complete renovation project. The entire Seibu Ikebukuro Main Store, along with each individual floor, will be designed with the architectural concept of “Maison” (“House” in French), creating spaces that embody three key elements: “class,” “sophistication,” and “art.”
