For GALLERY CAFE KOSETO
Because Gallery Coffee Shop “Koseto” in Jimbocho has long offered a truly art-filled space in the heart of Tokyo’s book district, we have crafted this proposal of Nordic & US clean beauty brands especially for you.
In your colorful interior, where guests enjoy coffee, curry and cakes surrounded by large murals and artworks, we would love to add a small touch of hand and skincare that gently accompanies those moments.
At the top of this page, you will find a short message video (about 30–60 seconds) from Miyuki Sadayuki at AB￣BC / LUXENOSA, created exclusively for Gallery Coffee Shop Koseto. We would be grateful if you could watch it first.
Dear KOSETO
WHY with you?
Reason We Would Like to Work Together
To us, Gallery Coffee Shop Koseto is a very special place in Jimbocho where guests can enjoy coffee and sweets while being surrounded by bold murals and colorful artworks. With its red walls, blue tables and large curved mural, the interior itself feels like a piece of art, yet the atmosphere remains warm and welcoming.
In this unique space, people read books, quietly enjoy coffee, look at exhibitions on the walls, or use the café for meetings and breaks throughout the day. It feels like a gentle bridge between everyday life and the art world—very much in line with the idea of “bringing art into daily living” that Koseto embodies.
As a partner representing clean beauty brands from around the world, we see skincare as a small ritual that fits naturally into these moments: something that quietly sits next to a cup of coffee or a plate of cake, or that guests may reach for while gazing at a mural or painting. We believe Nordic hand and skincare products can rest naturally at your guests’ side at Koseto, making their time there feel even more like “time to pause and gently take care of themselves.” This is why we wished to create this proposal specifically for Gallery Coffee Shop Koseto.

WOODS_COPENHAGEN is a clean, high-performance skincare brand
born in Copenhagen, Denmark.
With a strong focus on naturally derived ingredients
and sustainable formulations,
the brand aims to balance daily usability, visible results,

Its gender-neutral, minimalist design pairs naturally with cafés,
galleries and lifestyle shops that offer not only “things”
but also a unique experience and atmosphere.
The sample we have sent you is:

As a brand that celebrates the natural beauty of bare skin
in a distinctly Nordic way,
we believe WOODS_COPENHAGEN can gently elevate
your guests’ everyday self-care routines.
By adding a small “moment of hand care”
to the time guests spend enjoying drinks, food,
art or handmade goods in your space,
we hope to help create an experience where
“time spent at your place feels like a small personal treat.”
Partnership Idea
How We Would Like to Work Together
Smart Shelf Plan
Our Smart Shelf Plan is designed to help you create a compact Nordic skincare “beauty shelf” with testers in a small corner of your space,
so you can start generating beauty sales in a smart, low-effort way.
With as little as an A4–A3 sized area near the register or within your retail zone,
guests can discover the items naturally along the same flow
in which they enjoy drinks, food, or exhibitions,
and then purchase them directly at your register.
Image of the beauty shelf
- A compact corner featuring Nordic hand and skincare items
- A simple tester-led flow where guests can try scent and texture before buying
- Minimal fixtures and POP, tailored to match your atmosphere
《Revenue Model》
All products are provided by LUXENOSA on consignment,
so there is no upfront purchasing.
Once a guest pays at the register, the sale is confirmed,
and 30% of the sales amount becomes your profit,
while 70% is settled with us.
You simply share the number of items sold once a month,
and we handle the calculation based on that data.
《Benefits》
- No upfront cost
There is no need to invest in stock in advance,
which means no risk of dead stock or cash tied up in inventory. - Ongoing optimization support
We propose and adjust the product line-up and rotation
based on your concept, clientele and the season.
We also review sales data and guest feedback together
to decide “which items, at what price range, and in what quantity”
make the most sense for your space. - Minimal space required
Because we can start with roughly one A4–A3 shelf tier,
there is no need for major renovations or large fixtures.
You can use a small part of your existing register area or display shelves
to offer beauty items in a way that feels natural.
First Steps and Future Development
– Start Small, Grow Over Time –
We believe in starting small and discovering the right format together,
rather than making a large commitment from day one.
In other words,
we hope to co-create beauty experiences that guests can only encounter
“because it is your place.”
By keeping “your uniqueness” at the center,
starting from a manageable scale,
and updating things step by step based on real reactions,
we would like this partnership itself
to feel like an enjoyable, ongoing project for both sides.
