The design employs straight and curved walls that divide various functional areas such as manicure, beauty, reception, storage, etc., meeting different spatial needs, from open to private. The pattern on the walls resembles lace and it was created through laser cutting a 6 mm steel plate. The pattern turns all the walls translucent giving the clients a welcoming and relaxed feel in contrast with the busy mall it is set in.
