LEMONLIFE WORK & SHOP HARAJUKU: A Creative Hub in Tokyo's Heart

Welcome to LEMONLIFE WORK & SHOP HARAJUKU, TOKYO

On April 17th, LEMONLIFE WORK & SHOP will open its doors in Harajuku, Tokyo, marking a significant evolution for the creative studio known as LEMONLIFE. This innovative establishment blends the functions of a workspace and a shop, creating a space where ideas flow and connections are made. Situated in the energetic environment of Harajuku, this new creative hub aims to enhance the joy of design and production, making it accessible to a larger audience.

Concept Behind LEMONLIFE WORK&SHOP

The motto of LEMONLIFE succinctly encapsulates their philosophy: "Designing isn’t just about design." Having relocated their office to the Harakado commercial building nearly a year ago, they have challenged the conventional norms of design companies that typically do not engage directly with customers. Instead of hiding away in a typical office setup, they have chosen to position themselves in a high-traffic area, allowing spontaneous interactions and collaborations to flourish.

This strategic location has led to unexpected opportunities, such as receiving project requests from passersby or students showing up with their portfolios. Their day-to-day interactions have reshaped their understanding of design—it's more than mere aesthetics; it is an essential tool for genuine communication and connection.

On April 17th, LEMONLIFE will celebrate a year at Harakado with the opening of LEMONLIFE WORK & SHOP, which will not only serve as a design studio but will also function as a select shop. The decision to inhabit an open commercial space speaks volumes about their intention to redefine the design industry. They plan to sell a vibrant array of products ranging from their own lines like KISS, TOKYO, and HARAJUKU SPORTS CLUB, to collaborative items with other tenants and curated records and goods handpicked by the renowned designer Tetsuya Chihara.

New Offerings and Open Day Celebration

In celebration of the opening, the shop will feature exclusive merchandise, including original T-shirts adorned with their logo, priced at 3,800 yen (tax included). Customers who spend over 3,000 yen will receive a special treat—LIMITED EDITION cookies inspired by Chihara's iconic glasses, playfully titled "Chihara Glasses Cookies.” They humorously suggest that consuming these cookies might spark creative ideas!

L SPACE: A Versatile Creative Venue

LEMONLIFE WORK & SHOP will also house L SPACE, a rental and collaboration space, located on the third floor of Harakado. It will be available for various uses, including product sales and art exhibitions, contributing to the dynamic arts community in Harajuku.

Community Collaboration through FIREPLACE

Together with FIREPLACE, a company managing community collaborations at Harakado, LEMONLIFE aims to create a unique environment where people, products, and stories intersect. Their aim is to foster an atmosphere conducive to creativity and communication—where exciting encounters are encouraged while nurturing the local community. They believe that their efforts will result in a space where everyone involved will feel energized and delighted.

As the FRIENDLY and CREATIVE vibe permeates Harakado's third floor, they invite everyone to come by the LEMONLIFE WORK & SHOP to exchange ideas, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, or simply explore this new space that seamlessly marries fashion, art, and music culture.

LEMONLIFE WORK & SHOP is more than just a shop; it's a burgeoning community space set against the backdrop of one of Tokyo’s most dynamic neighborhoods. Their slogan "Let’s do something together in Harajuku" encapsulates this inviting ethos, welcoming all to participate in their creative endeavors.
