High-end beauty brand Augustinus Bader has had a flagship store on the historic premises of Palais Royal in Paris since 2018. As of late, timely coinciding with the global limelight and glitz of Paris Fashion Week‘s latest edition, the company has inaugurated an ephemeral in-store beauty salon. Designed by sought-after architect Harry Nuriev and his practice Crosby Studios, it comprises a room with subtly tiered walls in silver, a signature colour of Nuriev, laden with a selection of Augustinus Bader‘s coveted product range, and embedded on one side, a low bench. The treatment room only features a silver treatment chair, but the Prussian blue carpeting, Augustinus Bader‘s signature colour, and backlit Barrisol ceiling tie in the two spaces. The aesthetic takes cues from high-tech of the future, alongside the architecture and symmetry of the Palais Royal‘s garden. The Augustinus Bader pop-up salon offers facials which should be booked in advance (open through January 2025). © superfuture

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
