UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The request was to transform and design to a private hair salon for reservation-only customers.
Placement of 45mm prisms with certain rhythm separates waiting space, cutting booth and dressing/kids' spaces.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Placement of 45mm prisms with certain rhythm separates waiting space, cutting booth and dressing/kids' spaces.
Mirrors are on both sides of one piece of article, and acting as a center-point to create symmetric space including circular booth.
Coloring booth and consulting table are structured by using the same prisms.
The prisms are not painted for the purpose of leaving the rawness of the material open to be touched and felt, and ultimately contribute to the process of alteration, not aging, over time.
