The Likely Unlikely

Familiarity is dependable but is, at times, over used these days. Shopping has become a predictable affair and little delights the senses.


Thankfully, at most Commes des Garcon Guerilla Stores, the visual and emotional experience becomes part of the whole consumerist exercise. Wood Wood Temporary Space at Commes des Garcon Guerilla Store in Poland is conceptualised in the veins of a Commes Guerilla store, but is quite unlike what one would expect of a boutique. Here, too, the design preys on the unsuspecting and derive pleasure in antithetical shock tactics. Brought to life by Karl-Oskar Olsen and Brain SS, this store's deliberate run-down feel incorporates raw, vintage-y elements and stacks of casually placed cardboard boxes that are used as shelves within it.
