Diptyque
NorthPark
Diptyque NorthPark presented an opportunity to blend material craftsmanship with environmental storytelling.
Working alongside the broader team, I helped develop a repeatable sculptural wall finish based on an unresolved French reference while contributing to a custom mural concept designed to connect the store to its North Texas setting.
THE CHALLENGE
01
Diptyque’s design called for a sculptural wall treatment based on an existing French concept that local teams had been unable to recreate.
The texture needed to be reverse engineered into a workable system that could be repeated consistently across the installation while preserving the intended luxury finish.
At the same time, the store required a custom environmental mural that reflected North Texas in a way that felt sophisticated, subtle, and aligned with Diptyque’s visual language.

THE OUTCOME
The success of the project was not measured by a recreated texture alone, but by how every element contributed to the experience.
Material development and environmental artwork, came together to create a store that felt thoughtfully connected to its surroundings.
The finished environment preserved the sophistication of the Diptyque brand while establishing a stronger sense of place for its North Texas audience.

Design Strategy
The project required balancing two objectives: developing a repeatable design while shaping an environment that felt connected to its location.
The strategy focused on creating consistency across the store while ensuring the final experience aligned with the brand.

MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT
Recreating the original finish required translating a visual reference into a reliable physical system.
Material studies explored how texture, scale, and application could be refined into an approach that preserved the character of the original design while supporting real-world installation.

execution
Once the finish was established, the focus shifted toward consistency and scalability.
The application method was documented and shared across the sculpt team to ensure the texture could be reproduced faithfully throughout the installation.
