ZAK IK is an alluring and lush naturally-inspired artistic boutique. Located in Tulum, Mexico, the shop combines organic architecture, sustainable practices and eco-conscious craftsmanship. The stunning interior design relies on heavy use of wood, stone and botanic elements. From the trees, sprouting from the concrete floor to the the clever incorporation of a water stream-like sculptural element with stepping stones that lead to a dress design, the naturally-inspired artistic boutique is reminiscent of an indoor oasis.
ZAK IK creates a space that is suitable for retail, but that can also be used as a small hub for artistic workshops and discussions. The boutique boasts unique designs, local and innovative craftsmanship. It makes for a "futuristic museum" that returns to environmental basics and embraces creativity, quality and sustainability.
