Excerpt: LAAN, a Wellness interior by REIICHI IKEDA DESIGN, has high ceilings and the aperture has been given a surface that is thinned to the limit with the goal of creating a partial skeleton-like image. The design allows the addition of an unfiltered skeleton layer on the ceiling, achieving a clear-cut contrast and also guarantees a sense of freedom to the interior. The special design of the Salon includes a motif of the rolling hills in the area. Objects in the image of red soil, gray soil, and trees form the zones with the sense of reality that stretches around the exterior also being brought inside.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] Design plan for hair salon LAAN produced by Reiichi Ikeda, a spacial designer celebrating 10 years since the opening of his studio. Located in Tamatsukuri, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, developed from an area full of life home to a blend of both residences and workplaces.
With the condition of being located in the uplands of Uemachi, the spacial design includes a motif of the rolling hills in the area. Objects in the image of red soil, gray soil, and trees form the zones.
In addition, benikamo stone, characterized by its redness, is scattered around inside and out, with the sense of reality that stretches around the exterior also being brought inside.
While planning to make the facade all glass, as the exterior faces to the west, conflicting issues surrounding taking measures for the setting sun, the openness, and the comfort of the cutting area, but by bellow folding the lace curtains around 40mm, it allows you to feel both a sense of privacy and openness, while also reducing the glare from the sun.This is achieved thanks to the depth of the bellows, even when they are open.
Moreover, by dyeing this lace material red, it is characterized as an extension of the earth.
At the big table area made from magashiro wood you can enjoy tea after procedures. This area also functions as a cashier and showcases products on sale such as an original pendant light made in the image of red soil and minerals built up in layers, in addition to other products.
The entire interior has high ceilings and the aperture has been given a surface that is thinned to the limit with the goal of creating a partial skeleton-like image. This allows the addition of an unfiltered skeleton layer on the ceiling, achieving a clear-cut contrast and also guarantees a sense of freedom to the interior.
In addition, original works by up-and-coming artist and masters student at Kyoto University of the Arts, Mana Kawamura are integrated to enchant visitors. Becoming ingrained in the local area, it provides time for people to upgrade their everyday to something that much more elegant and beautiful.
