Retail design of a cosmetics shop
- Location: Antibes
- Dimensions: 70 m²
- Style: Contemporary
- Materials: Tile, terrazzo, terracotta, metal, patinated wood, lime plaster
Located in the heart of the Marenda-Lacan district in Antibes, this 70 m² retail space offers a calm and welcoming presence within the new urban landscape. Conceived as a small landscape in its own right, the project encourages a peaceful experience where every element naturally finds its place between presence and restraint.
A thoughtful architecture dedicated to well-being
Designed to reflect the world of Avril Organic Cosmetics, the space expresses the brand's values of authenticity and simplicity. The layout promotes fluid and intuitive circulation, supported by a clear and harmonious spatial organisation.
This retail architecture project is based on clean forms and refined lines. The repetition of the display units creates a subtle rhythm that gently guides visitors through the space. Every detail contributes to a cohesive whole where aesthetics and functionality work hand in hand.
Warm materials inspired by Southern France
The material palette, inspired by the colours of Southern France, creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Lime plaster, terracotta, terrazzo, patinated wood and matte metal come together in a restrained yet luminous composition. Selected for their texture and their ability to age gracefully, these materials strengthen the connection between the store and its surroundings.
Both natural and artificial light reveal the richness of the materials, highlight the architectural lines and create delicate plays of light and shadow. The resulting atmosphere is calm and carefully designed to stimulate the senses without overwhelming them.
Distinctive features, such as the terracotta brick counter and the washbasin area conceived as a moment of ritual, punctuate the space. The project brings together materials, light and rhythm in a discreet harmony that celebrates care, craftsmanship and the passage of time.
