MoMA Design Store Expands to Fukuoka

The renowned MoMA Design Store, operated by Loft Co., Ltd., will launch its first location in Kyushu on April 3, 2026. This exciting new store will be located on the second floor of the ONE FUKUOKA BUILDING, which recently celebrated its first anniversary. As one of Japan's major international cities, Fukuoka serves as a hub connecting various Asian countries, making it an ideal location for this flagship store.

A Hub for Creative Intersection

Fukuoka has undergone significant transformations, especially with the ongoing urban redevelopment project known as the Fukuoka Tenjin Big Bang, and the opening of ONE FUKUOKA BLDG. This complex has become a popular destination, embodying the idea of being a ‘creative intersection’ that brings together diverse ideas, people, and products.

The MoMA Design Store aligns perfectly with this concept, intending to enhance everyday life with creativity and innovation while connecting people with contemporary art. As the store offers carefully curated items approved by MoMA’s curators, it promises to bring high-quality design and products to the Fukuoka market, appealing not just to locals but also to the increasing number of tourists visiting Japan.

Unique Store Design

In an innovative twist, the Fukuoka store will be designed by a Japanese architect, MOMENT, for the first time. This design will incorporate locally sourced materials and reinterpret traditional Japanese architecture and aesthetics in a contemporary context. Visitors will experience a space that blends Japan's architectural philosophy and aesthetic sense with MoMA's cutting-edge worldview.
