Cosmetic Stands

A cosmetic stands program delivered in the USA in 2023, for a beauty and skincare brand opening a bright single-floor boutique. The brief called for a marble-and-lacquer scheme of lit cosmetic stands — arched niches, fluted counters and brass ring stands — all fitted whole-store from our Guangzhou workshop. Roughly sixty to ninety square metres of shop.

The plan lines the back wall with three full-height arched niches, each cut into the marble face and stacked with backlit glass ledges over a fluted drawer bank, so the skincare ranges read as three lit columns from the door. A long white fluted service counter runs across the room on a slim brass band, topped in marble, with a second curved counter turning the corner beside it. Brass ring stands on slim poles hold small bottles at eye level along the side wall, and a pink blossom panel marks the entry, giving the white room one saturated note.

Merchandising splits by line and family. Serums and toners run the niche ledges in brand order, boxed sets filed on the lower shelves; testers and consultation pieces sit on the counter top; gift sets and minis take the ring stands, one product family to a stand. Drawers under every niche keep backstock within arm’s reach, so staff restock without leaving the floor.

Materials hold the white-marble scheme: marble-faced walls and floor, high-gloss white lacquer on the niche and counter carcasses, fluted panel fronts, brushed brass trims and glass ledges. Lighting works as the architecture itself — LED strips under every ledge, warm spots on the counter, track heads overhead — so the products carry the light and the white surfaces stay quiet.

Delivery followed the factory route in 2023: niche carcasses cut and wired, counters sprayed and banded, brass stands polished before packing. The boutique fitted out in a single visit. Sample in seven to ten days, production in thirty to forty-five, shipped assembled from Guangzhou.
