The new Lush store in Manchester, United Kingdom offers the same rustic aesthetic as the brand's other retailers and enhances its space using lighting.
The lighting design for the store was done by Michael Grubb Studio, which created a space with a rustic design and natural imagery in mind. Rather than feature the stark lighting that has become the norm in cosmetics shops, this Lush retail location instead features warm lighting that spotlights the various soap displays in the store, while leaving the rest of the space relatively dim. This use of light coupled with the store's black walls ensure that the vibrant displays draw the customer's eye immediately.
By using lighting design to enhance its store's displays, Lush is able to create an inviting environment that will likely intrigue those passing by.
