Hair-Inspired Architecture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Strand Barber Shop Project

— September 28, 2008 — Art & Design
From a strand of hair comes this stunning barber shop created by Israeli designers Lior Vaknin and Sabi Aroch. Each partition wall of perfectly finished drywall looks just like magnified cuticle layers of hair.

The clean white and fresh apple green paint looks ultra hip. The salon is divided into three areas: a washing station at the farthest point, the main cutting, styling and waiting areas, and another stylist work area with a reception desk.

Check out the entire construction process and concept phase on Vaknin's Coroflot portfolio.
Trend Themes
1. Microscopic-inspired Design - Designers are incorporating microscopic elements into their creations, such as magnified cuticle layers of hair, to create visually stunning and unique architectural designs.
2. Color Contrast Styling - The use of clean white and fresh apple green paint in architectural designs, like this barber shop, is becoming a popular trend, providing an ultra hip and visually striking aesthetic.
3. Functional Division of Spaces - Architects are exploring innovative ways to divide spaces, like the three areas in this barber shop - a washing station, the main cutting and styling areas, and a separate stylist work area with a reception desk - to enhance functionality and improve customer experience.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Interior Design - The use of microscopic-inspired designs and unique color combinations presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the architecture and interior design industry.
2. Barber Shops and Salons - Incorporating modern architectural designs and functional space division can revolutionize the barber shop and salon industry, providing customers with a visually appealing and efficient space for hair care services.
3. Construction and Renovation - The implementation of creative design concepts, like the hair-inspired architecture in this barber shop, can drive innovation in the construction and renovation industry, offering unique and eye-catching spaces for a variety of purposes.
