Designer: Aoife Rhattigan Design Company: Douglas Wallace
This international award winning hair salon for Peter Mark was designed to be not just a salon but a distinct retail store and hair salon. It was designed to showcase the Peter Mark knowledge of hair care and challenge the customer to identify their aspirations.
Design aspects include the use of large bold, dynamic graphics on the rear wall and a double height space over the nail bar adding a vibrancy and energy to the salon environment. The introduction of a resin floor in the ground floor salon and retail area, gives the feel of a smooth, luxurious, iridescent shampoo that has been poured over the floor adding a depth and visually tactile touch. The colour scheme within the salon is white to light colours punched with powerful red & orange graphics, vibrant red resin screens and chunky shag pile carpets on the walls. The completed design resulted in a vibrant hair salon that gives a slight nod to retro chic.
