The Retail Concept

Cabinet of Funo.

A traveling pop-up. A Wunderkammer staged for real.

Funo Japanese · adj.
Incomprehensible; from rikai funō, "understanding impossible." Casual slang for what teenagers text after their parents have spoken. By extension: anything the older generation looks at and decides not to ask about.

The Cabinet of Funo is the brand's traveling pop-up shop, staged as a real Wunderkammer. Each location runs for one to four weeks. Pieces are displayed in velvet-lined vitrines, each labeled with its untranslatable-word origin in mock-Victorian dictionary style. The catalogue lives in the room. The customer reads as much as she shops.

The most provocative pieces — the Funo line — live in a separate inner sanctum behind a velvet curtain. The inner sanctum is, in the brand's own definition, what the customer's parents wouldn't recognize. Press magnet by design.
