About Sisu 미용실은

시수는 오래된 철골 건물에 임차인으로 위치한 미용실입니다. 리모델링 전 임차공간은 붙박이벽으로 창문을 숨기고 외부 간판을 설치해 어두운 실내를 연출했다. 그러나 자연광이 들어올 수 있는 가능성은 넓은 창문에 있었습니다. 이에 개방감을 더하고 창문을 활용해 공간의 상징성이 되도록 내외관을 조정했다. 아이코닉한 의자와 거울은 염색된 나왕 합판 사용 및 일치하는 곡선 디테일과 같은 일반적인 디자인 어휘를 통해 서로 연관되어 있습니다.

Unique Properties: The overall design concept for Sisu was to fill the space including the skeleton and built in walls with white like a canvas and compose furniture upon it. The space aims to be sustainable by its minimalism. The chairs and other interior features are designed to be easily maintenanced for a prolonged period of time. The initial interior design is limited to very few materials and reduced decorativity, eventually emphasizing the wooden features and tidiness.
Dimensions & Packaging: Total floor area: 61.52 square meters
Tags: interior design, furniture design, hair salon, minimalist design, renovation
Production Technology: The concrete skeleton floor was polished then coated with clear urethane to be finished. The wooden chair and mirror uses dyed lauan plywood.
Design Challenge: Average Japanese beauty salons tend to place a table, usually functioning as a consultation area, facing the entrance. To break the stereotype, a large white tile-covered rectangular solid was installed at Sisu and let it function more than just a consultation space, such as a work desk for operation besides haircut, or a display platform to put flowers and art objects. It may be a small challenge, but had a considerable effect on the entire space. In combination with the furniture’s deep wooden color, it adds a comfortable feel to the refined white space unlike other beauty salons as if users are at a familiar residential space.
Inspiration: The tenant space before renovation had windows hidden with built-in walls and exterior signboards which made a dim interior. However the potential was at the wide windows to let in natural light. Thus the interior/exterior was adjusted to add a sense of openness and take advantage of the windows to become a symbolic feature of the space.
Hair salons have few furniture features compared to other shop formats. To assure uniqueness with limited budget, the design fundamental was at the originally designed chairs, to become an iconic feature for Sisu and influence other design details within the one-room space to realize interrelation.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2021 and finished in July 2021 at Nagoya, Aichi, Japan.
Operation Flow: SISU was designed to be run by the owner alone. Thus the focus was on his operation flow efficiency and to allow awareness towards customer's situation despite their or owner's position in the salon space. The concrete skeleton floor was polished then coated with clear urethane to be finished, making it easy to sweep cut hair.
The vertical window blinds control natural light intensity and lets it be the main light source especially during daytime. It makes natural light become an essential factor of the space identity regardless of time period, and also accentuates the window view of outside trees.
