Hair salon CHARM｜Koshigaya-shi SAITAMA
The ways of communication have changed drastically during the COVID-19 pandemic. We incorporated such changes into this salon. The project started with a wish of our client who wanted to start his own business for the first time in a new store.
The design concept of the store was built on the notion that it should not be a place people visit just so they can upload some photos of it to the social media. Rather, people should be impressed and drawn by the experience here which will be imprinted on their memory. Based on these thoughts, we seek to design a new style of salon in this project.
The design centered on a private, and yet open space where people can feel secure and relaxed. During the design process, the questions of “How to welcome the customers?” and “What makes the space cozy?” were posed, which we attempted to answer by taking the personal feeling, eye contacts, space density, air flow, and the room structure design into consideration.
For us, it’s a salon that stresses the importance of one’s memory in terms of the experience itself rather than photographs.
溝通模式在疫情之後有了極大的變化，我們把這變化以我們的方式來呈現在此沙龍裡。該物件始於業主希望在新店面中開啟自己的事業。
我們設計著重在「安穩但有開放感的私人空間」這一點，考慮到人的感覺及視線流動範圍、空間密度和空氣流動等延伸出的「該如何接待客人？」「如何讓客人安心並放鬆？」等問題，而此空間造型呈現的就是我們所思考後的答案。
「比起為了拍照上傳，倒不如是為了留下強烈記憶而吸引人來的店」「比起記錄、記憶更重要」這兩大思考方向成為這次的設計重點，而進行了新型態沙龍設計企劃。
對於我們而言，這是一間「比起記錄、記憶更重要」、令人流連忘返的沙龍。
