Beauty salon that changes freely with the movement of people and light
In order to meet the various uses requested, not only for a beauty salon, but also for a gallery, event space, etc., all elements of the store are movable.
The furniture, all mirrors, and even booths such as VIP rooms and private rooms can be moved from room to room on the floor.
The 24 mirrored movable glass screens are covered with 24 colors that form a circle of hues, and the arrangement, orientation, and overlap of transmitted and reflected light create an accidental pattern of light in the store.
