Jonathan Tuckey Design has unveiled the studio’s fourth collaboration with international skincare brand Malin + Goetz, and the exquisite interior design for the label’s latest outpost in London’s buzzing Canary Wharf.
Inspired by the evolving streetscape and skyline of the store’s Canary Wharf location, the sleek interior invites customers to wend their way through a city of skincare set on structures of slender steelwork, inverting the monolithic stature of Canary Wharf towers outside the store to a more human scale.
The urban grid of Canary Wharf is further felt in the towers, which are composed of cubic stacked parallelepipeds. Each custom designed and built structure is set with translucent white shelves that step in as they ascend to varying heights.

A regal shade of blue envelops the store, while carefully placed spot lighting illuminates the interior, creating a dark overhead atmosphere into which the tall steel displays seem to dissipate.
The designers incorporated slim steel displays to add a touch of architectural interest, as well as accents of marble and matte polished concrete with a mindset that prioritises quality over quantity.
Designed to evoke the sense of a metropolis at night, a solid marble basin marks a consultation area at the rear of the store, which also provides a restful space for customers to experience Malin + Goetz products in a sublime spa-like scene.

Jonathan Tuckey Design has completed three other retail experiences for Malin + Goetz across London in Islington, Seven Dials, and Spitalfields. Each store offers a distinctly different interior, from timber cubic forms in Islington to a sleek layout of floating shelving in Seven Dials.
The practice’s work across each Malin + Goetz store foregrounds the role of an apothecary as an important social connector. Creating contextual concepts that draw design cues from the local neighbourhood, Jonathan Tuckey Design offers a retail experience that celebrates wellbeing through local connection.
