Burlington's products, in particular the Edwardian collection, have long been favourites of specifi ers, designers and architects, especially within the hospitality market. "Now, we can offer them even more choice when it comes to customisation, whilst maintaining the enduring quality and sought after authentic traditional style that Burlington has become known for," said Mick Bone, director of Group Projects at Burlington, which is part of the Bathroom Brands Group Ltd. Julie Ingham is a UK-based designer who creates patterns and illustrations for everything from greeting cards and homewares to textiles and books.

The hide is split down to a thickness of one millimeter so that it can be used to cover delicate objects, such as the AXOR MyEdition mounting plate. Most of the processing is still done meticulously by hand, such as sewing the cover plate or applying the AXOR logo with a hot stamp. The Jenn Cliff Massif in South Tyrol provides the white marble for the mounting plates of the AXOR MyEdition collection. AXOR has chosen to use the world-famous Lasa marble in addition to the black marble from Basque country. "It is absolutely extraordinary to produce natural stone in this thin format," Joshua Walter, master stonemason, says. In Oberkirch, at the foot of the Black Forest, marble specialists cut these plates to production size. Because the thin stone can be easily broken, their work must be meticulous. To make the marble ready for use in the bathroom, impregnation must be applied. Afterward, the AXOR logo is lasered into the marble and fi lled by hand with colored tint.

After the success of the fi rst bricks- and-mortar store in Barcelona, Spain, the Freshly Cosmetics team teamed up once again with the Valencian studio CuldeSac to design a 100 sqm space that's in the heart of Madrid. CuldeSac's initial work with the cosmetics company focused on translating the start-up's website into space. If Freshly was born as an e-commerce site, Freshly Stores must show that same nature and a further evolution to the new store. The client's brief was also that the retail space must refl ect the brand's personality: it makes things easier, speeds up routes, takes risks and breaks new paths, a brave brand that's ahead of the curve. Designers were asked to combine these attributes with the DNA of Identy Beauty, the company's new make-up line, to take customers on an in-store journey. The store's façade at 46 Fuencarral is divided into three sections. The central showcase works as a call to action and contains the icon of the ‘F' that's recognisable from the façade of the Barcelona branch. FRESHcommercialinteriordesign.com January 2021 48 On each side of the store are the two entrances. On the right, the user enters through Freshly products, turning the curve to interact with them. On the left, they will meet the most social part of Identy Beauty. A huge canvas hanging from the ceiling welcomes shoppers, who fi nd tiers that work as an extension of the street, which can used as a meeting point inside the store; a place sit down to and charge their smart phones or watch the rear video wall projections of the brand's new products. During their journey through the octagonal shape of the shop, the user is surrounded by images from both brands. Freshly's, which is more rational and ordered, transmits the brand's values; Identy's with inspiring messages and in larger formats. Between the two entrances to the shop, the concept of a square is generated to walk shoppers through the space, through the duality of its identity, the organic route through the curves of Freshly and the social dimension of Identy. This parallel journey opens up two squares in the shop, both surmounted by vegetation, in allusion to the eco- character of the fi rm. The fi rst one belongs World view to Freshly and works as the central axis of the shop to interact with its product. The second one emerges to generate the circulation of the space until the birth and materialisation of the Identy square. There's a place where customers can test the products and look at themselves in the mirror. These squares are separated by a full-length mirror that delimits the areas and completes the curves, creating a sensation of openness in the space. In the Freshly area, CuldeSac reproduced the design already generated for the fi rst Freshly Store in Barcelona. However, the team has worked from 49 January 2021 commercialinteriordesign.com One store, two entrances scratch for Identy to create a spatial identity with its own exhibition system, which shows the product in an elevated and orderly way and opens up to a more intimate space in which the highlights of the collections are displayed In the background, we see the recognisable yellow doorway found in the Barcelona shop. This leads to a back terrace fi lled with light and vegetation. Designed with the social media savvy Millennials and Generation Z, the design works as an offl ine contact point between Freshly Cosmetics and its 500,000 social media followers.
