Red Bunker and Red Tent Boutiques

The Red Tent is realized in oiled fabric.

It is realized in concrete which was cast in a single go to allow for the absence of holes or joints and create a compact structure.

View into the shop through its main entrance.

The second of Bali Barret's boutiques in Tokyo is inspired by the military tent with its facade constructed in red oiled fabric held down by leather straps and suspended by a metallic structure.

Sand bags are used to hold the fabric down at the bottom. A metallic chamber marks the entrance to the boutique.

Openings in the facades are provided with block outs on the outside much like the conventional tent.

View of the interiors of the shop padded in a white fabric.

A perfect rectangular space is drawn out inside and the interiors uniformly padded with a white fabric.
