Sense Of Forest Perfumery Supermarket

Sense of Forest Perfumery Supermarket is an innovative retail interior design project that masterfully integrates natural elements with industrial architecture, creating a unique shopping environment that serves as both a commercial space and an urban sanctuary. Located in Moscow's business district, this 1,238-square-meter perfumery establishment draws inspiration from the translucent winter forest, particularly the intricate patterns formed by larch tree crowns. The design's most distinctive feature is its sophisticated suspended ceiling system, comprising two ash veneer gratings offset by 6 degrees and suspended at different heights, creating a mesmerizing canopy effect reminiscent of interwoven tree branches. The space harmoniously combines various premium materials, including hot-rolled steel, tinted stainless steel, granite, onyx, and African wood, to create a multi-sensory retail experience. Round wooden-lathed columns pierce through the ceiling structure, mimicking tree trunks, while the cashier area features dramatic broken lines of natural granite extending into the space. The design successfully softens industrial elements through the abundant use of natural textures and materials, establishing an environment that accommodates over 2,000 daily visitors while hosting professional beauty events and master classes. This exceptional retail design, completed in 2018, earned recognition with a Silver A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, acknowledging its innovative approach to creating a nature-inspired commercial space that transcends traditional retail design paradigms.
