Eggleston chose copper as the primary material for the interior, to represent the vital role copper has played as a form of currency throughout the ages, its importance to Geneva’s great wealth, and to reference fantasies of a clandestine alpine bunker. Central to the store’s design is a large, angled copper sink inspired by the 1970s luster of a Citroen CX, which folds itself into the consultation counter and demonstration area.
The project is finished with Alfredo Häberli’s DS-480 lounge chair, upholstered in tan leather. These elements are accented by discrete textural details of cork, sisal and wood. Customers can explore and select from a complete range of skin, hair and body care products, distinguished by botanical and laboratory-generated ingredients of the highest quality.
