CONCEPT & DESIGN INTENT
The design for E&I Beauty captures the refined calmness and modern femininity associated with Korean-inspired beauty spaces. The goal was to create an interior that radiates purity, comfort, and understated luxury, making every visitor feel at ease. The tonal palette blends muted pastels, textured fabrics, and soft lighting to shape a serene yet sophisticated ambience.
SPATIAL STRATEGY
The 1,800 sqft space is structured around a welcoming reception and lounge area that flows naturally toward treatment rooms and utility corridors. The design maximizes openness and movement clarity while ensuring privacy for customers. Curved partitions and soft transitions replace hard angles, reinforcing a sense of smooth continuity and warmth.

COLLABORATION & CONSTRAINTS

The team worked closely with the client to maintain a consistent visual narrative, carefully managing procurement of fabrics, wallpapers, and lighting fixtures within tight timelines.
