Herbal tea & Organic skincare.

Following on from designing for the senses, we were given a brief to design a retail and consumption space within a two story building. On top of this the space was to be designed with the visually impaired in mind, replying on other senses such as touch, hearing and taste to guide users around the space.

The consumption space was to be herbal tea and the retail organic skincare, however these must not be separated on either level rather integrated throughout this space. With this in mind I created a concept based around a cocoon. The purpose of herbal tea and organic skincare is to feel rejuvenated and reborn, which is exactly what process a caterpillar endures whilst metamorphosing.

From this I narrowed the organic skincare down to one type, mud baths. This idea then formed the 'detox cocoons' which combined both mud baths and herbal tea into a very unique experience.
