About The Entry
The D is a skincare brand showroom in Taiwan. The showroom's design blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a natural and comfortable atmosphere that reflects the brand's spirit of simplicity and uniqueness. To highlight the timeless charm of the brand, the commercial space, which was once an old warehouse, has been transformed to preserve its original constructive elements and combine them with creative design.
The designer has created ample space by adding mezzanine floors and stairs to a spacious warehouse. They use lightweight iron structures and metal mesh to maintain visibility and light. The shop and office spaces are separated by just one window from the sky and trees, creating a comfortable and light-filled atmosphere. The staircase next to the floor-to-ceiling windows is a focal point that draws people's attention and adds interactive amusement to the indoor space.
Interior materials are chosen to create a natural atmosphere by using wood, gravel paint, and iron pieces based on the architecture and environment. The brand’s minimalist and eco-friendly concept is reflected in its furniture and decorations made of natural elements such as paper and rattan. By using “light and shadow,” the designer creates a silhouetted window grille combining changes in sunlight. This technique subtly incorporates the brand's essence without overdoing it while maintaining the original look. The new space embodies elegance and confidence while keeping its character. The brand chooses the harbor city as the stating point to convey its beautiful culture and philosophy of life from the inside out.
