Youth to the People
a reception area and staff kitchen design for a chosen brand
In this assignment, we were required to select a brand to design a reception and staff kitchen area. The selected brand to design for was Youth to the People, an American ethical skincare company. Sustainability is the main focus that guides the selection of materials used for the interior. Environmentally friendly bamboo tubes as well as linen upholstery are chosen for the reception seating joinery.

The concept for designing the reception area and staff kitchen is fluidity - derived from the company’s skincare products. This is reflected through organic shapes utilised in the design to create seating in the reception that mimics blobs of the product. A secondary concept that inspired the design is transparency through the use of glass bricks, mainly as the screening. This allows visibility to movement and activities of the office over the screening. A colour palette that is neutral and cool toned was produced with a sage green as the pop of colour, reflecting their best selling product - Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream.
