RKA had the exciting opportunity to bring NARS Cosmetics’ first UK flagship store outside of London to life, right in the heart of Glasgow’s Buchanan Street. Spanning 100 sqm, the store features a sleek, modern design with crisp white walls, a dramatic black ceiling, and bold accents of the iconic NARS red, perfectly embodying the brand’s distinctive aesthetic.

The store showcases campaign imagery by François NARS, celebrating the brand’s bold artistry, while its design – created in collaboration with Brightworks Sustainability – ensures that makeup stations and product displays meet the highest sustainability standards. The store pays homage to Glasgow’s rich architectural heritage, seamlessly integrating listed features into the NARS design framework.

RKA were thrilled to work alongside Mcdonald Architects and NARS Global and UK based Team to deliver such a fantastic retail experience.
