TORY BURCH’s Post

Our new artwork in Tokyo is live! Ginza Six is a luxury mall in Ginza, a major shopping district in Tokyo, that is lucky enough to have a beautiful park on their rooftop that is open to the public throughout the day and late into the night. They commissioned us to create an art intervention for visitors that could be accessible for people at any age, from 1 to 100 years olds. The phrase "Falling Into Place" evokes a sense of natural alignment, where events seamlessly unfold. It embodies the idea that despite obstacles, maintaining a positive outlook leads to intended outcomes.      This sentiment rings true in the vibrant scene atop the Ginza Six Rooftop, where six colorful structures stand, each with a void akin to a missing puzzle piece. Rather than dwell on absence, these gaps are repurposed as havens, inviting visitors to contemplate their role within the broader landscape.      Like assembling a puzzle, completion requires every piece. Only when each element is in place does the full picture emerge, clear and compelling.      This dynamic installation beckons individuals of all ages to embrace spontaneity and adaptability, encouraging them to flow with life's unpredictable currents.

Looking at unique attractions for Tokyo, as my client is rather discerning. Kintsugi is my favourite of the ones I submitted. A kintsugi porcelain is a porcelain that has been broken and then artfully glued together, but not in such a way that it cannot be seen that it was once chipped, but highlighting the cracks with precious metal threads, so that when the repair is completed, it becomes more valuable and more beautiful than it was in the beginning. And this is because the Japanese tradition holds that imperfections narrate a piece's journey, demanding reverence. To me, kintsugi is both a symbol of fragility, vulnerability, but also of inner strength and beauty. Scars are proof that it once hurt, but also that those wounds have closed, and now they are part of you. You have them on your skin, not just on your soul - and they seem exactly like that: beautiful and precious. It's not just pottery; it's a beautiful metaphor for resilience and growth. Rebuilding isn't always easy, but it's a process worth embracing. Each step forward, each crack mended, adds to the beauty of who we are. Let us celebrate our imperfections and the stories they tell. They are what make us uniquely beautiful. What unique experience would appeal to you?

I was recently in Japan for a break. Apart from being the ever grinning selfie addicted tourist in a foreign land, one of the questions i was pondering during my travel was ‘how do the Japanese look fit and have such a long life expectancy?’ While there are no one dimensional answer to it, the presence of social engineering and social design through out the country stood out to me. The picture below is one of the entrance to a famous mall in Tokyo. Notice that over 80% of the space is occupied by stairs, there is an escalator, deliberately hidden behind the huge parapet wall of the stairs and its quite narrow (again deliberate design). There are no escalators for going down. There is a lift at the fag end if you are that desperate or mobility challenged (with a capacity of 6 people) Citizens are nudged and conditioned to use the stairs. I was also standing there observing people’s behaviours (sorry for being a creep). Almost 90% of locals used stairs by default. Sameway, almost 90% of tourists went to or intuitively searched for escalators (including me). We are what we are conditioned to be. Japanese people are not healthy by default, but by design. P.S.: Apologies for generalisations.. #Designforgood #socialdesign #nudge and #lookingfordesignroleinAus 😀😀

Recently completed a semiotic project on the future of luxury in China, in the next few posts I’ll share my favorite vids from the project. First, ZhuChongYun :::: beautiful !!!

In Japan, there's a beautiful tradition called 'Kintsugi,' where broken pottery is repaired with gold, silver, or platinum, highlighting its fractures rather than hiding them. This practice reflects the idea that objects gain more value and beauty through their imperfections. It's a reminder that our living spaces, like us, become more valuable and beautiful with time and the experiences they hold 💖 #Kintsugi #FactThursday #MovingToPDX #PortlandRealEstate #PortlandOregon #RealEstate #SothebysRealty #Luxury #Luxe #LuxuryLife #LuxuryRealEstate #NothingCompares
