We designed a beauty salon located in the port city of Yokohama. Deliverables included a space evoking the image of the beautiful sea.
Therefore, we created a space filled with the colors and light of the beautiful and lively seawater surface, where patrons are enveloped by waves of colors.
From the entrance, the left side of the beauty salon is lined with styling spaces, while a shampoo room can be found on the right side.
The colors on the walls blend into a gradation, like the flow of water, with an awareness of the changes in natural light seen throughout the day, such as a bluish sunrise or an orange sunset.
Moreover, art objects that evoke the shimmering surface of water are placed along the walls, and linear lighting equipment is arranged on the ceiling in a way that imparts subtle rhythm to the light.
The overall seascape, brought about by the colors and light of the seawater surface, evokes the wonder and mystery of natural phenomena, thus creating an environment that magnifies the pleasure experienced.
