Visitors to this hair salon in Taiwan all sit face-to-face around one long table, which was custom-made by local studio Soar Design.
The hairdressers – which is based in Taiwan's Changhua City – has a long and slender floorplan. To make the most of the space available, the designers chose not to section off the room into separate workstations and instead organised areas around a single communal table.
一张定制的矩形长桌把45平方米的理发屋划分成等候区和理发区,在这里顾客们可以面对面围坐在桌子两侧。
The custom-made long rectangular table divides the salon's 45-square-metre room into waiting and haircut areas, with people sitting across the table from one another.
木制底座的圆形镜子便于业主根据需求移动或者重新布局。天花板上垂下的吊灯散发出柔和的光芒。
Circular mirrors rest in wooden bases for easy movement, allowing the owner to rearrange the space as needed. Long pendant lights hanging just above the table emit a soft glow.
室内墙面不加粉刷,利用电钻或者手凿使墙面呈现其原本的样子,给整个空间营造一种“亲近自然”的氛围。
Paint has been removed from the walls, which were hand-drilled and stripped back to their original materials to make the atmosphere "closer to nature".
“与理法师的艺术行为相似,你在空间中也可以体会到纹理、知觉和空间之间的对话,”设计师说。
"Just like the artistic behaviour of the hairstylist, you can see the conversation between textures, perception and space," said the studio.
理法沙龙的水槽隐藏在建筑后抬升的木质平台之后。该空间使用一个金属柜台与其他空间进行划分。
在整个沙龙中,所有的产品都放置在墙面的木架子或者金属板上。
The salon's sinks sit on a raised wooden platform tucked away towards the back of the building, which is divided from the rest of the space by a steel counter.
Throughout the salon, products are housed in wooden shelves and on steel panels jutting out from the walls.
This Melbourne salon also avoids the typical hairdresser interiors, and features bold colours and geometric shapes based on the work of postmodernist designer Ettore Sottsass.
Other interesting pamper spots include a minimal Japanese salon with space for the owner's books, art and music, and a Parisian hairdressers with a hexagonal-patterned ceiling made from sheets of plywood
