Hiroshima-based COC Studio presents SHOPKIT, a mobile store inspired by DIY furniture. This lightweight structure, made from wood, steel, and polycarbonate, is designed for easy assembly and disassembly, allowing it to be moved and reassembled across various urban locations. Drawing from Japanese design principles, it embraces simplicity and functionality, featuring a welcoming split shop curtain that serves both as a sunshade and a traditional icon.
Created to replace a building undergoing reconstruction, SHOPKIT has found a new purpose by activating vacant spaces around Hiroshima, particularly in parks near the city’s rivers. Its adaptable design prioritizes mobility, storability, and functionality, offering a versatile, eco-friendly approach to urban retail. COC Studio’s innovation transforms empty lots into vibrant social and commercial hubs.
來自廣島的 COC Studio 推出了 SHOPKIT，一個受 DIY家具 啟發的 移動商店。這個輕量化結構由 木材、鋼材和聚碳酸酯 製成，設計上便於組裝和拆卸，可在不同的城市地點移動並重新組建。它採用了 日本設計原則，講求簡約與實用，並配有一條分裂的店鋪簾幕，既是 遮陽簾 也是 傳統象徵。
SHOPKIT 原本是為了替代正在重建的建築物而設計的，隨後被重新利用來激活廣島市內的空置區域，特別是環繞著河流的公園地區。其靈活的設計強調 可移動性、可儲存性和功能性，提供了一種多用途、環保的城市零售解決方案。COC Studio 的創新將空地轉化為充滿活力的社交與商業空間。
Tomohisa Suzuki & COC
COC Studio, led by Tomohisa Suzuki in Hiroshima, adopts a design philosophy blending simplicity with agility. Their work highlights modularity, portability, and user-focused features — exemplified by the'SHOPKIT' mobile pop-up retail concept made from wood, steel, and polycarbonate, which can be easily assembled, disassembled, and relocated.
The studio employs basic geometric shapes and arrangements to craft welcoming, adaptable spaces that suit modern urban life. Their method honours traditional Japanese minimalism while emphasising practical versatility: lightweight structures that easily shift between furniture and architectural scales, supporting commerce, social interaction, and mobility in innovative ways. Without unnecessary decoration, COC Studio reimagines environment design as a dynamic, evolving response to varying needs, all maintaining clarity, coherence, and subtle elegance.
COC Studio（主理人鈴木智久，位於廣島）秉持「簡約靈活」的設計理念。他們專注於模塊化、可移動性與以使用者為中心的功能性——例如其移動快閃零售設計“SHOPKIT”，由木材、鋼材與聚碳酸酯構成，可輕鬆組裝、拆解並遷移。
工作中運用簡潔的幾何形體與配置元素，打造出對應現代都會生活需求的親和力靈活空間。工作室尊重日本傳統的極簡主義，同時深植於實用適應性：輕量化結構能從家具規模轉變為建築規模，使商務、社交與流動性得以創新展開。 COC Studio 在無多餘裝飾的前提下，重新想像環境如何隨需求轉變、演化並回應變化，同時保持清晰、統一與低調優雅。
