Behind the Design

Press Kit

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

Unique Properties
Located in the busy Taihe Plaza, Banlan adopted the rough and pure concrete in the façade without too much decorations, showing a sense of tension in the space. A touch of blue is clear and open, which is infinitely extended to nothingness, full of artistic vitality. The combination of these two elements create a sense of distance and independence.
Dimensions & Packaging
The tables and chairs in the waiting area are randomly placed, which are varying in size and color, like Tetris, adding fun to space. Trying to break the traditional shackles, the designers blend several materials as metal, leather and paint to integrate rough and delicacy, strength and femininity, freedom and loneliness.
At the same time, the show of different themes on the screen create a modern, technological atmosphere.

Production Technology
Black absorbs color and makes colors sharper. Under the black box, IKB appears to be more vivid. It has a mysterious and cold sense of technology that can be explored. It also has infinite grotesque seeds that take you to the sky, the ocean, freedom and nothingness. Staying in it, people are lost in this vast color.
Design Challenge
The lighting and layout of the work area is the key to the design. The indoor lighting layout is set according to the orientation to ensure a working environment without shadow and the simulated natural light ensures the true hair color, bringing a complete and balanced solution for customers and hairdressers. The mirror and steel plate stand from the ground to divide the space into several continuous modules, while avoiding human visual errors caused by the reflection of mirrors.
Research
By reorganizing the space, the designer breaks the traditional conventions of hairdressing salon and injects three major elements: mystery, technology and specialty, which are constantly changing, blending and weaving to meet the needs of customers. The project is no longer a single hairdressing salon, but it is more like an art space that spreads aesthetics, promoting the brand to start a new journey of design and experience.
Inspiration
The design is inspired by International Klein Blue (IKB), which is a deep blue hue first mixed by the French artist Yves Klein. IKB's visual impact comes from its heavy reliance on ultramarine, as well as Klein's often thick and textured application of paint to canvas. IKB is applied in Banlan Beauty Salon, which makes it different from the other salons.
Project Duration
The project finished in May 2019 in Fuzhou, China.
Operation Flow
The box is an L-shaped corridor with a wash and cut function area on the left and a waiting area on the right. The designer disassembles and visually integrates the original structure. A box is embedded on the right side, which not only completes space construction, but also breaks the original narrow shape, providing more possibilities for the interior functions.
