Project overview

Nord and Nest is a Scandinavian home-decor portfolio storefront concept. The nord&nest interface explores a warm, quiet editorial direction for thoughtful everyday objects.

The opening pairs large serif typography with a ceramic vase, natural colors and restrained product presentation. Collection, story, journal, search, wishlist and bag elements are visible in the original interface.

My contribution

  • Concept: a homeware storefront that connects editorial presentation with product discovery.
  • Design: the warm visual direction and presentation of the collection.
  • Testing: review and testing of the shopping experience as it developed.

The challenge

Connect an editorial home-decor presentation with a clear shopping journey, from discovering a product to reviewing its details and managing a shopping bag.

A slower visual rhythm

The original opening uses a cream canvas, generous spacing and a single ceramic object as the focal point. Product presentation shares the page with an editorial headline, balancing a collection view with the feeling of a home-design journal.

From discovery to a demo checkout

A filterable collection connects to individual product pages, presentation options, quantity controls and an image view. The wishlist and shopping bag share validated browser-local state, so choices survive a refresh on the same browser and origin.

The checkout validates sample details and ends with an explicit demo result. No payment is processed and no real order is created. Products, EUR prices, availability and delivery values are fictional.

Explore the demo

Browse the collection, filter products by category and open a product page. Try the wishlist and shopping bag, then explore the simulated checkout.

Products and prices are samples. No payment is collected and no real order is placed.

Implementation

Next.js static export serves the product routes. React, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS shape the interface; Zustand manages the bag and wishlist, while React Hook Form and Zod handle the checkout preview. The project does not require customer accounts, a database or a payment provider.

The Live Demo action opens the public storefront demonstration.
