The Design

About Taipei Eros Kapsalon

De kapsalons zijn gebaseerd op de geometrie van zwarte, witte en grijze kleuren. De gebaren van het knippen van haar worden vertaald in de massa van de sculpturale entiteiten. Het driehoekige motief vormt de functionele kubussen en vlakken van plafond tot vloer door middel van stapelen, snijden en naaien. De lichtbalken ingebed in de scheidingslijnen dragen bij aan talrijke verlichtingsbanden, die dienen als aanvullende verlichting en tegelijkertijd de toestand van het verlaagde plafond oplossen. Ze strekken zich uit en meanderen mee met de weerspiegeling van de grote spiegel, vrij pendelend tussen de vlakken en de driedimensionaliteit.

Unique Properties
In order to make it an innovative, fashionable, and enduring place, They integrate regional characters into the design. The geometry of black, white, and grey colors transform the layers of the space while ensuring its functionality. Here the framed landscape becomes a diorama with flowing junctures of inside and outside that echoes the essence of hair design.
Dimensions & Packaging
An area of space is 198 square meters.
Tags
salon, innovative, fashionable, white, light, art
Production Technology
The triangular motif shapes the functional cubes and planes from ceiling to floors through the actions of piling, cutting, and sewing.
Design Challenge
They also extend and meander with the reflection of the large mirror surface, shuttling freely between the planes and the three-dimensionality.
Research
As a leading brand among the hair salons, they treat the physical space of the shop as the embodied identity at the fringe of the downtown Taipei.
Inspiration
The whitewashed background refers to the pure motivation of the brand. The gestures of hair-cutting are translated into the massing of the sculptural entities. Here, light defines the threshold between the tangible and the intangible realms and therefore becomes the index for circulation and division in the space.
Project Duration
The project started in February 2016 in Tapei city and finished in June 2016 in Tapei city.
Operation Flow
In contrast with the stability of the seating area, the layered and displaced vision integrates and enriches the space. The juxtaposition of the movement and stillness defines the singular dynamics of the hair salon.
