Missy Lui

The shop philosophy focused on natural products influenced Anne-Sophie Poirier, who used a limited palette of materials to gave a minimalist yet warm look to this nail spa in Armadale.

Located on the busy High St in Armadale, Missy Lui is a nail salon focused on healthy and environmentally friendly nail caring.

This 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 colours and 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.
