Images of Hugg store by Nic Granleese.

The super cool fit-out of the recently completed Hugg store on Londsdale Street in Melbourne’s CBD is playful and stylish; childish with an air of sophistication.

The shop, which sells health and sheepskin products, sits on a floor space of just 100m2 and was accomplished – from concept design to opening – in five weeks. The Nordic-influenced design, inspired by the possibilities of timber and craftsmanship, maximises the limited space available and provides a clean, fun aesthetic.

The natural pine colour of plywood, out of which the fit-out was constructed entirely, is interjected with unexpected bright yellow painted beams.
