The Design

About Taipei Eros 美发沙龙

发廊基于黑色，白色和灰色的几何形状。理发的手势被转换为雕塑实体的体积。三角形图案通过打桩，切割和缝制的作用，将功能性的立方体和平面塑造成从天花板到地板的功能。嵌入分隔线中的灯条有助于形成许多照明带，在解决降低的天花板条件的同时，可作为辅助照明。它们随着大镜子的反射而弯曲，在平面和三维之间自由穿梭。

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.
