In the frame: New hair salon keeps it simple

By Jonna Dagliden and Philip Gamble 13.10.2010 Chiba : Japan : Hair Salon

Chiba, Japan – In tune with consumers’ desire for a clean and simple design, design studio Three.Ball.Cascade has created a hair salon in the shell of an existing building.

Large wooden structures frame customers as they sit down for a hair cut. Some contain mirrors while others remain empty. And the unshaded lightbulbs that hang from the ceiling add a raw feeling to the space.

As LS:N Global explores in our Full of Grace Inspire such simple design provides an oasis of calm and tranquillity.
