Parisian architecture practice Archiee is behind the slick and ethereal aesthetic of this luxurious shop for Japanese cosmetics brand En. Located in the French capital, the aesthetic of the retail environment is successful in communicating an unparallel aura of sophistication.
En's luxurious shop is set in an 18th-century building which infuses its vibe with notes of classicism. In addition, the status of the interior is boldly accented by way of stunning brass elements.
The store is divided into four, function-specific spaces. The first is the point of entry and where En's customizable skincare products are beautifully displayed. The second room is dedicated to counseling and treatment, the third is where messages are offered to consumers, while in the final room visitors can browse the product gallery.
