Terminal service: Space shows community spirit
Tokyo – Designer Masato Sekiguchi aims to attract the art and design world in Tokyo with a new 24-hour creative space called The Terminal Harajuku. Access is by membership only, which costs about $3.
The Terminal acts as an anchor for community life and fosters creative interaction. The open space encourages visitors to use wifi, lounge on sofas, and read magazines while drinking a beer. But it can also be used for business purposes. Two private meeting rooms accommodate six people and the ground floor can be rented out as an exhibition space, a live studio and a film set.
This is a great example of how brands are turning to creative spaces for local communities. LS:N Global explores this further in our Retail Futures report.
