Palm Tree skin.

Salon Design | Leeds 2021 Client : Palm Tree Skin

THE SALON

Palm Tree Skin is an independent beauty and well-being business based in Leeds, Yorkshire. Following the successful start-up years of home visits and establishing a loyal customer base the Palm Tree Skin brand aimed to create a Luxury skincare destination.

Consisting of relaxing seating areas, a service desk, a facial bar, and modern technology such as an infra-red sauna.

A tranquil, calming, and clean environment was the objective.

The fundamentals of the brief were to create a luxurious and comfortable sales and service space on the ground floor and a cosmetic treatment space on the first floor with more of a clinical and sterile feel.

Branding elements such as a Monstera Palm leaf graphic were used subtly throughout the location as well as a tropical print wallpaper in the customer toilet which also contained a vintage basin. The Palette consisted of polished golds, greens, pinks, natural timber and crushed upholstery, highlighted by soft globe lights.

Edwin.

Store Design | Shoreditch 2020

THE STORE Following the concept development and successful implementation of a full store refurb at the Edwin, Paris location in 2019, I was enlisted to draw up plans and provide visuals for the new London, Shoreditch store.

The brand's minimal design ethos and Japanese heritage are reflected in the store design principles. A refined materials palette with industrial finishes and allowing the store to breathe was required.

A simple approach to wall fixturing was taken with the use of key-clamp scaffolding and perforated metal sheeting used for the cash desk and shelving.

Client : Formd & Edwin

Elements of the store's architecture we reclaimed such as the flooring and rustic brick walls were whitewashed. Warehouse-style lighting was utilised throughout the store.

Specification and design detailing were provided - working closely with the main contractor.

23 DESIGN BY JAKE CONWAY

THE INSTALL The Size? x Nike exhibition at the Size? Carnaby street, the flagship store called for an immersive experience that celebrated the lifestyle and culture associated with the Nike Air Max sneaker.

Working to a brief provided by an agency, the design and install were created to highlight the archive pieces and display a digital timeline or product, inspiration, and ambassadors.

Key products were placed in a display that was created from an upcycled sound-desk in a new slimline casing with an internally illuminated base. Key-clamp scaffolding provided a non-intrusive temporary structure.

Mounted digital screens and existing shelving were utilized as a point of interest and the displayed items provided context for the exhibition.
