Shop concept of ” & INDUSTRY.

We create, choose, and consume something every day of our lives. & INDUSTRY.” is a new concept store born as an “experimental box” that triggers chemical reactions with various lifestyles, which is the fundamental appeal of products in our daily lives. The experimental method is to collect items from all over the world from a unique perspective based on the concept of “…INDUSTRY,” without having any manufacturer-like manufacturing techniques or production background on the store side. Also, for the original items, we aim to “reconstruct the standard” by adding new perspectives through collaboration with our trusted partners.
