DESIGN NAME: Taipei Eros
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Hair Salon
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.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 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.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: 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.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in February 2016 in Tapei city and finished in June 2016 in Tapei city.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

TAGS: salon, innovative, fashionable, white, light, art
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: 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.
CHALLENGE: They also extend and meander with the reflection of the large mirror surface, shuttling freely between the planes and the three-dimensionality.
