SHINTO SHOWCASE:
Boro is the fabric of the Japanese folk, while Shintoism is their religion. For this display proposal we got inspired by Shinto Shrines and their special archway called Torij. The Torij is believed to separate the sacred world inside from the world outside. Both of these elements can also be found in the Boro textile. The refined finishing and Japanese joiners make the showcase elegant and subtle.
KEYWORDS > Altar, luxury, mystical, detailed, refined and delicate, sophisticated, contemporary.

The packaging serves as an armor to protect and honor the product, while the backpack is the true hero.
