ABOUT THE PROJECT
The L'Oreal Academy serves as a hub for training beauty professionals and managers. The aim of our project was to create an environment that fosters creativity and experimentation in every aspect.
CLIENT
L'Oreal Academy is a center for beauty industry professionals. It hosts sessions on new L'Oreal products, practical masterclasses, and the use of state-of-the-art beauty technologies. The Academy's ethos is reflected in its design, with the designer's task being to create a space that inspires beauty creation. The design echoes the company's main attributes - sustainability and a progressive approach to learning.
RESULT
Our goal was to design a calm, light-filled, technologically advanced interior for students and visitors. The interior design theme is both industrial and futuristic, with radial elements and color gradients to highlight creativity. The layout comprises interactive learning zones, a reception area, a photo room, a cloakroom, an IT room, a coffee station, and product display cases.
The lounge area, located next to the coffee station, leads to three lecture rooms that can be combined into a larger hall. Each room is furnished with sound systems, a screen, and seating. We also constructed a conference room for online meetings, ensuring minimal distractions. The focal point is the color bar area, which features stationary hairdressing sinks for color experiments and innovative techniques. Portable styling stations, fully equipped with the necessary tools, are strategically positioned near windows.
