Olive, Fine Organic Living, located in the Mequon Pavilions, not only sells environmentally friendly luxury brands, from clothing to linens, but it’s eco-conscious from the inside out. Designer Lyn Falk, also known for her previous work with sustainable materials in the Milwaukee area Outpost natural grocery stores, developed a concept that incorporated virtually a 100% eco-friendly build-out. From the recycled carpeting, to the cork-based marmoleum flooring, to the toxin free paints and wall-coverings, Retailworks succeeded in designing the Midwest’s first all organic/sustainable retail boutique. Its clean, natural style complement the store’s “Green-friendly” theme and enhance an otherwise plain, strip-mall type retail space. A “Zen Lounge” equipped with plush furniture, manufactured from recycled polyester, adds the finishing touch to this quaint, peaceful spot. Retailworks, Lyn Falk, and Olive once again prove that you don’t need to sacrifice style for a Greener alternative. |
