Located in the heart of Dumbo, Brooklyn, Usagi's 2800 square foot space was designed by noted Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto. Described as a "shop to showcase multidisciplinary culture," the space contains a coffee and tea bar, a gallery, a library, and - through the end of this month - our pop-up design bookstore! The book selection is based on Usagi's core values of renewal, spring, and togetherness, while the focus of the bookstore is on the transformative power of art, architecture, design, and critical theory, and work which embraces the challenge of changing reality in pursuit of a better future. According to Usagi, the store "brings together dining, retail, and art to provide an optimal environment for cross-disciplinary creativity and inspiration. The modular exhibition space is endlessly reinvented by artists, designers, and architects who express the language of tradition in innovative and exciting ways."
