Situated in the old Jewish district ‘Pieknalia’ in Krakow, local studio Hornowski Design have completed the sustainable ‘straw bale cosmetics boutique’. The new interior was informed by a strong ecological focus and also constructed at a relatively low cost.

Each 80x40x40cm unit was only about 1 euro and around 100 were used to form the two adjacent walls, while in between cut-out shelves fill the gaps, displaying the natural products on sale. The mounted materials were treated with a special fire protecting liquid that is used for curtains in theaters – their textured appearance offering an intriguing sight from the exterior.
