The Design

About DoReDo Salon

DoReDo is a wellness venue that combines a beauty clinic, a salon, a spa, a yoga studio and a small cafe within 550 square meters. The layout is modelled on airport retail, where displays stay below eye level and movement remains simple and clear. Coral is used as the accent colour and appears only in the wood framed arches of the central retail courtyard, which connects every service. Every visitor passes through the coral arches. Wooden flooring, lit mirrored consoles, suspended metal storage racks and glass chandeliers complete the interior.

Unique Properties: One of the most prominent elements of the design that was designed to be specifically eye catching, is the pop colour, coral. The coral serves two purposes, it is reflective of luxury and beauty, and also happens to be a colour that few brands have adopted. The coral only makes its presence felt in the arches of the retail courtyard, the hub of DoReDo that offshoots onto its various offerings. No matter where you go in the space, you have to pass through the coral arched courtyard.
