Nina+Co dedicated itself to choosing materials that "minimize waste or revive waste products" at every turn. The beauty retail interior, therefore, boasts raw stone edges and biomaterials like mycelium. A center piece for the space s a stunning travertine stone table which is comprised of "50 percent from salvaged [materials] and 50 percent from offcuts."
