Kiehl's Regent Street Installation
Piercy&Company, in collaboration with Electrolight, have unveiled their porcelain and light installation for Kiehl's Since 1851. The installation is part of the RIBA Regent Street Windows programme, where innovative architectural practices are paired with Regent Street retailers to create architectural installations in store windows along the historic shopping street.
Piercy&Company's window installation draws on the roots of the beauty brand as an old-world apothecary and their exploration of the power of botanical ingredients. Marking the launch of their Nightly Refining Micro-Peel Concentrate, the display depicts delicate porcelain Quinoa seed husks, the active ingredient.
The combination of natural and manufactured, traditional craft and digital techniques is common ground for Kiehl’s Since 1851, Piercy&Company and Electrolight. This is celebrated by displaying not only the precious finished object but also the products and processes used in its construction.
