Designed by Esoteriko, a new retail concept for Coco and Lola fashion boutique in the beachside Sydney suburb of Manly aims to reflect the already established brand’s look and feel, with a fresh perspective rooted in context.
Materials played a big part in the design both as a textural backdrop and as significant “insertions.” Esoteriko’s intent was to maximize, soften and highlight the industrial shell of the building, using the scale to its fullest while imbuing the space with the brand’s “pink-ness.”
It was important that the design connected to its coastal locale. The space is light-filled and casual, with pink sand filling the shopfront, and sandstone boulders fused throughout as propping and joinery elements.
