Akin Atelier’s vision of the interior is a culmination of art and atmosphere derived from Poho’s retail principle of ‘Greet, Consult, Select, Make/ Observe’. Taking inspiration from ephemeral and large nature installation artists Andy Goldsworthy and Robert Smithson, the interior’s circulation and layout mimic a nautilus shell with a corridor that unfurls into a circular space.

In true Akin Atelier fashion, Poho’s Double Bay interior is swatched in natural tones that make one dream of a seaside getaway. Sand-like colours are beached by waving icy blues—a gentle nod to Poho Potts Point’s baby blue façade, serving as the perfect pastel backdrop to the vibrant pinks, reds and oranges from the foliage. Gentle bristling of different textures unapologetically, patterns fill out the floor area for a heightened sensory experience. These include the polished and unpolished stones found in the custom joinery and benchtops. Smooth and rough are found contrasting between the combed rendered walls, textiles and the central marble column. Such tactility found within nature is reverberated around the space.
Almost like walking into a grown-up interpretation of Shirley Barber’s beautifully illustrated world of flowers and fairies, Poho Double Bay mystically awaits flower lovers. With a lovely visual narrative created by Akin Atelier, it might just be the store to kickstart your love for blooms.
