ABOUT

Desert Landscape - hair & beauty salon
Warsaw 2022
Given the eccentric character of the interior, the color scheme is subdued. Sand color, alluding to the main inspiration, prevails. Its various shades are present on the walls, in the materials on the furniture, curtains and handles. A nice contrast has been achieved by ruby color, referring to the name of the salon. It enabled division of space into smaller zones, a necessary move in this type of premise. The second floor is additionally subdivided by curtains and the wave motif comes back in mirror pedestals made of raw, beige brick. Ruby is also a leading color in the VIP room, adding to its more intimate vibe.

ABOUT
NOKE designers invited contractors who normally work on set designs to build the non-standard walls. The walls are covered with natural plaster and painted with ecological paints in many sandy shades. NOKE engaged a Polish company specialized in interior fabrics, to create the wavy forms on the ceiling, referring to the shapes made of sand. The staircase was custom built by hand by several artisans. - It was particularly important to us to have the digitally designed, curved form of the staircase hand made. The draped forms on the ceiling were created in a similar way. Thanks to this, each shape inside the salon is unique.
The neon green counter is a bold accent in the front desk area. Together with the rest of the furniture in this section of the salon, it was designed by artists and glaziers from the Barańska Studio. All of them are made of glass in strong colors. The shimmering glass surface alludes to the presence of water in the desert.
