Beauty and wellness brand IKKARI has recently opened a multi-level flagship in Mosman, a new store in Noosa and will soon be opening another store in Melbourne.

A contemporary take on an apothecary offering holistic solutions for wellbeing and skincare, both the Noosa and Mosman stores feel like stepping into calming realms. Walking through both spaces, customers are met with a deeply intimate and highly personalised experience that encourages them to take time to immerse themselves in IKKARI’s many offerings, which provide a memorable sensory exploration. IKKARI’s Mosman store is spread across two levels and is an eloquent response to the prestigious Sydney locale, while the Noosa store is more intimate, seamlessly blending into the laid-back mindset of the holiday destination.

The experience of both stores is defined by curated furnishings and interior design choices.

The experience of both stores is defined by curated furnishings and interior design choices. IKKARI Noosa features soothing olive green hues on the ceiling, walls and floor, a large island bench as a focal gathering place and arched steel cabinetry, signage and display risers by Christensen & Jackson Workshop.

IKKARI Mosman has a similar layout on the first floor and favours the same olive green hues as its Queensland sister boutique. In contrast, the design leverages the heritage nature and charm of the building – original floorboards are retained and painted olive green, while a traditional white ceiling and exposed brick wall remain.

Both of these highly considered retail environments are timeless and modern, reflecting the sense of harmony and synchronicity that is so important to the IKKARI brand.
