GELCARE Warehouse

A Warehouse and Office for an E-Com Start-Up

Montréal / 2 Phases 2020 & 2021 / Environmental & Experiential Designer Lead / Freelance

Le Manoir is first and foremost known as a luxury nail-art and skin treatment salon based in Montreal (the salon having been designed by yours truly: see photos here). With its growing brand recognition on the social media, the owner developed an online shop for complimentary products in nail care (GELCARE), self-care, and jewellery.

The interior design is an updated continuation of the salon: a white, clean, and well-lit background, with a balance punch of colours. The use of glass partitions, floor-to-ceiling see-through curtain, and frosted acrylic gives the space an open and soft feeling. Details such as greenery, retro furnitures, and colourful terrazzo add quirkyness and personality.

Creative direction for interior design (moodboard, concept, flow/consumer journey, layout)
