The new retail store concept for Natura was developed for Brazil and adapted for other markets. Over the course of more than a year, in collaboration with various creative and technical teams, we developed the architectural standard that has been implemented in over three hundred stores.
The materials and techniques selected for the project blend traditional knowledge with advanced manufacturing resources, achieving a balance between artisanal tradition and contemporary industry, while maintaining a natural appearance. The islands placed in the center of the store, with their organic shapes, are designed to offer experiences to visitors, while the walls display products in a conventional commercial manner. Additionally, a visual zone—termed the “hot zone”—has been marked on the walls. This zone runs throughout the space and guides visitors through the narratives to be created.
