big.

A beauty store inspired by minerals and ingredients used in natural skincare; clay, seaweed, and mushroom extracts, with the earthy tones and exuberant spirit of the 70s. Formed from reclaimed gypsum, salvaged travertine, expanded cork block, mycelium and seaweed bioplastics.

Furniture has been bespoke designed by Nina and assembled with the intention of maintaining the integrity of each component so it can be easily repurposed beyond the store’s existence. Every material has been handled with the greatest respect to minimise or eliminate waste and to revive waste into beautiful objects of greater value. Raw stone edges, metal patination, and earthy tones are blended with soft, oversized, rounded forms to a calming effect.

The outcome of this depth of thought and considered craftsmanship is a space where each area tells a story of material exploration and experimentation; a space that offers a sense of provenance, connection and reverence for the natural components of the skincare products on offer; a home for a new store to embody the principles it stands for of respect and nurturing for ourselves, each other and the Earth.
