About Satin Hair Interieurontwerp Kapsalon

Satin Hair is een Koreaanse-stijl kapsalon in Taiwan. Het interieur beslaat 198,3 vierkante meter verdeeld over twee verdiepingen en omvat een wachtruimte, een kappersgedeelte, een haarwasruimte, een barhoek, een rustruimte en een vergaderruimte. Een glazen deur en glas-in-glas ramen van vloer tot plafond maken de ruimte licht en open. Een grote ovale verlichtingsarmatuur markeert het middelpunt van het kappersgedeelte. Wit geverfde ijzeren onderdelen vormen een verstrengeld rasterpatroon over de gebogen logowand. Terrazzovloeren, warme houtnerven en beige-grijze tinten creëren een rustige en zachte sfeer.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The glass door and large floor-to-ceiling windows provide the ultimate transparency, making the space seem even more spacious and bright. The highlight is the giant oval lighting fixture in the center of the haircutting area, which reflects the beauty of balance. The large curved logo wall creates a perfect curve. White spray-painted iron parts outline a mesh of interlocking lines to cover it, enriching the layers on the wall. The terrazzo floor is both vintage and trendy. The designer broke away from the established framework and mindset to shape a unique and distinctive look.
Dimensions & Packaging: The venue has a total area of 198.3 square meters and consists of two floors. The layout is divided into a waiting area, hairdressing area, designer's rest area, hair washing area, bar area, and a meeting room. The semi-open plan balances integrity and independence. The doorless arch forms the boundary between different areas, intuitively guiding the route amplifying the space, and blurring the borders. The first-floor area is deliberately not filled with walls to add a sense of lightness and maintain good lighting and ventilation.

Production Technology: Materials: iron pieces, baking paint, wood grain flooring, terrazzo, etc. Beige gray is used as the base. Its almost pure white but slightly different color tone reveals a stress-free atmosphere. The warmth of the wood flooring enhances the natural comfort. The ubiquitous ironwork is covered with white spray paint to preserve its nature and to give it a soft yet strong effect, adding a customized touch to the commercial space.
Design Challenge: The venue is in a 35-year-old building. The designer made some changes to the layout to meet the salon's business needs. For example, the staircase connecting the first and second floors was poorly designed, so the width of the staircase was increased to 150 centimeters to reduce the bulkiness. The curvature of the iron parts and the rounded lighting fixtures in the hairdressing area are made by the master on-site with the use of machines, which was time-consuming but very effective.
Research: The designer installed large floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors to create a fresh and transparent space. The designer also took the image of a haircut to give new life and definition to the space, simultaneously demonstrating simplicity and creativity. The beige-gray resembles white and the warmth of the wood creates a healing and soothing first impression. When consumers enter the space, they will focus on the subtle and delicate details. The rounded chandelier in the center is a soft expression of calm. The apt, elegant curves are a hallmark of the brand's personalization.
Inspiration: The project is a Korean-style hair salon. The appointment system offers a premium service and quality, targeting the female clientele. To reverse the established image of hair salons, the designer used curves to create a unique sense of flow and added warm wood grains to describe the natural look and rhythmic beauty. The soft and cozy atmosphere makes hairdressing more than an experience, but also a stress-free journey that can soothe and relax the body and mind.
Project Duration: The project finished in July 2023 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The hairdressing area is the place where the designers spend most of their time with the customers. The designer made precise calculations on the distribution of seats and route planning so that even if a trolley is placed, it will not affect the movement or make the space narrow. The semi-circular light in the reception area and the curved light in the hairdressing area interpret the smooth rhythm, which can be regarded as the essence of the space and the inspiration of aesthetics. Not only do they create a lasting memory, but they also serve as an excellent example for the owner to expand the branch.
