Located on the busy High St in Armadale, Missy Lui is a nail salon that believes beauty is not just skin-deep.
By sourcing toxic free and natural products, Missy Lui offers a unique service in Melbourne which focuses on healthy and environmentally friendly nail caring.
The above philosophy initiated the brief given to Anne-Sophie Poirier, the Melbourne-based French designer behind the shop fit out.
By using a limited palette of materials, including solid Tasmanian oak, bamboo flooring, pastel coloursand hanging plants, Anne-Sophie gave a minimalist yet humble, warm and welcoming look to the venue.
The manicure tables are designed to delimit a space of intimacy between client and nail carer. The various elements are designed to be easily removed and reinstalled to another venue, therefore optimising the cost and lifespan of materials.
Anne-Sophie Poirier is a French born and Melbourne based designer also known as SASUFI. After completing a degree in Architecture in France, she moved to Australia in 2005 to work for one of Australia’s top architectural firm before starting her own multi-disciplinary practice in 2011.
