A pharmacy that doesn’t smell like medicine! Taiwan’s most beautiful “Molecular Pharmacy” plants its flag in Xinyi District, Taipei
When it was founded, it was hailed by the media as “the most flamboyant pharmacy in history”, attracting a large number of people taking photos and checking in, as well as international media reports. “Molecure Pharmacy”, known as “the most beautiful pharmacy in Taiwan”, has made its debut for the first time in seven years. Step out of your hometown of Taichung and create a unique lifestyle urban space “Molecular Pharmacy NORTH HUB” in Taipei Xinyi Shin Kong Mitsukoshi A11.
Tony Liu was born in the third generation of local pharmacy and has a professional background as a pharmacist. In 2017, he created a molecular pharmacy in front of the National Opera House in Taichung that subverted the traditional impression of the industry. Customers not only smell the products when they walk in, There is no unpleasant “potion smell”, and there is still a burst of coffee fragrance. The beautiful design space, unique aesthetic and practical product selection station attracts a large number of urban fashionable men and women to visit and take pictures.
As an innovator of contemporary pharmacies, Liu Yanbo hopes to create a chain care system that focuses more on personalization and refinement. “People will not only think of pharmacies when they are sick, but will naturally use them when they need daily physical and mental care.” “Reminiscent of Molecular Pharmacy!” As the first stop of the chain pharmacy, we chose the prosperous department store in Xinyi District of Taipei as the starting point and launched the first shot of a metropolitan pharmacy with “Molecular Pharmacy NORTH HUB”.
It’s so beautiful that at first glance I thought it was a boutique store! Water design creates a “roundabout entry” atmosphere
Different from the luxurious and elegant atmosphere of the first molecular pharmacy in Taichung Phase 7, as the starting point of the chain system, molecular pharmacy NORTH HUB once again invited the well-known “WATERFROM DESIGN” to design the space. Design Director Li Zhixiang This time, the concept of experimentation has been upgraded from concrete symbols and materials to the control of behavior and situations, creating a space that is perspective and can also filter urban chaos like a situational carrier.
Different from the traditional pharmacies that people are familiar with in the past, NORTH HUB, a molecular pharmacy, is based on the concept of molecules penetrating cells. It uses metal tubes of different specifications and diameters to form a grid display rack in the style of molecular link aggregation. Fiberglass lines are wound horizontally as the backboard, blurring the intention of the site and guiding customers to “enter the room in a roundabout way” before they can fully experience the whole picture and content.
Entering the space, dark and light “canal blue” is used to create thick cabinets. Each section has steps with different scales, leading the line of sight through the ups and downs, just like the miniature buildings washed away by the flow of time and gradually integrated into the landscape. The outline of the remaining civilization reveals ancient clues, which are a large number of repeated overlapping combinations of points, lines, and surfaces, just like the aggregation of molecular links, and finally generate new functional individuals.
Integrating molecular deconstruction and penetrating imagery, arranger Zhang Xuan creates exclusive “pharmacy music”
Not only did Liu Yanbo put great effort into the space design, he also took great pains in creating the atmosphere. He invited “JB”, who has been a music producer for more than ten years and was the arranger of Zhang Xuan, to produce a 45-minute brand exclusive for Molecular Pharmacy. ambient music.
Inspired by the contemporary aspect and futuristic nature of the Molecular Pharmacy brand, JB collects a large amount of experimental electronic materials, allowing fragmented sounds and original music instruments to interact with each other, opening up the imagination of the interweaving of spatial sound waves and art. The sound texture and space continue to produce reflections, triggering people’s thoughts on The awareness of the details of life allows musical notes to become medicinal leads in the spatial field, connecting various indifferent artistic conceptions and constructing a common vocabulary for all things in the space.
Combined with undergraduate pharmacist major to develop its own health care brand studio GLOW
Liu Yanbo said that in the past actual practice, he has observed that among the dazzling array of health products on the market, the efficacy descriptions are often vague and lack research data to support them, making it difficult for consumers to accurately understand the effectiveness of the products; at the same time, he feels that people are in the post-epidemic era. With increased attention to health and wellness, we teamed up with functional medicine doctors to jointly develop our own brand “studio GLOW”.
“studio GLOW” introduces high-quality health care raw materials from abroad, and reshapes people’s understanding of health care products through its unique visual design vocabulary and innovative functional concepts. The products are divided into two major series. Among them, the “Basic Health Care Series” focuses on fish oil, comprehensive B complex and vitamin C, covering the basic nutrients that modern people are prone to lack due to insufficient nutritional intake. It is based on the concept of synergy emphasized by functional medicine; the other An “Advanced Function Series” is planned with efficacy as the main axis, providing solutions for specific health needs, so that people can feel the improvement of their physical health in daily life, and can also show confidence from the inside out.
In addition to “practical”, even “edible” aspects are also carefully considered for the public! Liu Yanbo pointed out that when taking health care products, patients are generally difficult to swallow due to their special smell; studio GLOW optimizes this. For example, “Multiple High-efficiency B Complex” does not have the common B group yeast odor, but is replaced by a comfortable cereal It has a wheat aroma; the “Reverse Collagen Formula” does not have the unpleasant fishy smell of animal collagen. Instead, it leaves a sweet fruity aroma in the mouth after entering the mouth.
Not just an eye-catching gimmick! Can “eating dessert at the pharmacy” help you sleep?
In addition to health products that can be taken directly, Liu Yanbo also combines health care concepts with diet to create a common carrier “Future Bar” that combines beauty and deliciousness; through his own in-depth research on functional ingredients, he teamed up with “JLI lab” in Taichung " The gluten-free and egg-free “Future Vegan Gelato” has been developed, and the idea of having desserts available in pharmacies is refreshing.
Liu Yanbo pointed out that “future ice cream” is not just an eye-catching gimmick. The materials and nutrients contained in it are actually very mysterious: for example, coconut milk is used to extract and boil dried French lavender, and then combined with the high-tech microlipid lavender CPO Lavender® Made into “Calming Lavender” Sorbetto, your mouth feels like you are in a sea of lavender flowers, which can help relax your mind and sleep; and “Youth Olive Oil” Sorbetto, which is made purely from Italian virgin cold-pressed olive oil and palatin sugar, is a favorite The premium hidden version tastes with elegant herbal aroma and dense and smooth taste, allowing the body and mind to be fully moisturized by plant polyphenols. It can be called a touch of coolness in the hot summer.
In addition, the “rolling kiwi fruit” Sorbetto is made from fresh kiwi fruit and added with the year’s best prebiotic Livaux® golden kiwi fruit powder. It not only has a refreshing texture and full of fruity and sour taste, but also brings a healthy environment to the digestive tract. Josephine and Jeanne, the managers of JLI lab, have tried to integrate functional ingredients into Sorbetto for the first time. Details such as the degree of solidification of ice crystals, smoothness and balance and coordination need to be carefully calculated. It is also a major breakthrough in production technology. We only hope to work with them. Together, Molecular Pharmacy provides customers with high-quality delicious food that contains healthy ingredients.
