CONVERTED IDENTITY / SHIPKA: A SHOP FOR ORGANIC COSMETICS

Transformation of a former butcher’s shop into an organic cosmetics boutique called Shipka. Located in the center of Sofia the place has become an attractive urban spot. It was selected as one of the 50 design locations, part of the cultural festival Sofia Design Week.
The small shop has two levels. The entrée level accommodates pure retail function.
The underground level consists of a mixed-use room for relaxation, make-up and exposure.
A storage room at the upper level is designed as a light installation infiltrating the space with mystical and joyful presence.
The preserved iron beam and hooks, the floor mosaic and the white faience tiles from the former butcher’s shop, as well as the wooden shelves with extra long columns and the playful lighting shape the character of this fancy boutique.
