Wooden chairs are positioned in front of tall mirrors leaning on walls and birch trunks, which puncture the interior of the salon from floor to ceiling.

  3. nomad says:

    always lovely work by this firm

  4. João says:

    lovely room, but too much space for that tables-on-wheels many (bad, and some good ones) hairdressers love… they are probably not so welcome, I guess…

  5. nothingbutcode says:

    i like this.

    it’s laid-back and unpretentious while still remaining sleek and contemporary. yay.

  6. modular says:

    Thumbs up for those chairs!

  7. g22 says:

    it’s gonna look a whole lot different when you have bottles of hair product, pieces of hair, and hair dryer cords all over the place.

    if the program was different and it were a gallery it would work a whole lot better.

    i love the tree trunks, very laugier’s primitive hut :)

    Great as a temporal installation to be changed every 3-6 months. In an ideal interior world…
