A Room of His Own: Ramdane Touhami’s Tokyo Outpost

Tucked beneath the sycamores of Tokyo’s Nakameguro district, Words, Sounds, Colors and Shapes is less a store and more a living extension of Ramdane Touhami’s imagination. Inside, cinematic soundscapes fall from the ceiling, garments whisper stories of Japanese craftsmanship, and every object, whether rug, hoodie, or cup, carries the fingerprints of deep collaboration. Following his Paris flagship, Touhami’s Tokyo outpost is intimate, layered, and unapologetically personal. It’s not retail theatre, it’s a room, a gallery, a conversation. As Ramdane puts it: “I just wanted to do it perfectly.” And he has.
