The aim was to create an experiential cosmetics store concept that engages the senses. During my research, I recognized that sensory stimulation is already highly prevalent—often to an overwhelming extent. Many cosmetic stores present a multitude of scents, products, colors, lights, and more, resulting in sensory overload. My approach was to focus on the essentials, refining not only the sensory experience but also every aspect surrounding it. This store embodies the principle of "less is more", emphasizing what truly matters. It functions as a Brand Introduction Room, showcasing only the fundamental products essential for a skincare routine. These products are experienced through all senses. The experience is intense, yet refined and subtle enough to resonate on a subconscious level.

The design and conceptual development draw inspiration from the Japanese tea ceremony, known as Chadō (The Way of Tea). Each ceremony is a unique, artful performance where every step and gesture follows a precise, deliberate sequence. The purpose is to leave the mundane behind, achieve a meditative state, and unify all five senses, body, and mind in perfect harmony. This practice is guided by four essential principles: Wa (harmony), Kei (respect), Sei (purity), and Jaku (tranquility).

I developed a Cosmetic Journey, a pathway reflecting the brand’s core values and guiding customers through carefully curated sensory experiences. This journey allows them to discover the products more deeply while understanding the brand’s philosophy. Each room represents a distinct value. The tea ceremony is seamlessly integrated as a storytelling element to create an experience that leaves a lasting impression. By combining minimalism, sensory engagement, and storytelling, the result is a holistic brand experience—one that lingers in memory, inspires, and encourages contemplation.
