The owner of Molecure is a third-generation pharmacist who hopes to subvert the traditional preconception of a pharmacy and integrate it into the diversified modern environment. The design by Waterfrom takes inspiration from the name of the pharmacy, which is derived from ‘molecule’ and ‘cure’.

The space refers to the synthesization of drugs and medicine, combining the seemingly conflicting qualities of nature and technology. Cobblestones are adhered onto the two towering walls on the left and right, adding the rough texture to an unexpected surface. The metal, lightweight glass and transparent acrylics criss-cross, while straight lines are adopted to build the display racks in a pattern that refers to longitude and latitude.

When filled with medical products and supplies, the display racks seem to disappear from the space, transformed into colorful paintings against the walls that float in a breathtaking abstract atmosphere.
