About Ethereal Hair Salon
Ethereal is a hair salon interior located in Taipei. The space covers 133 square meters. Wood is used as the main material, and its solid character is combined with surrounding textures. From a distance the interior looks like an installation artwork, while closer viewing reveals detailed craft work. Woodcraft elements and textures are rearranged to move away from the traditional image of a commercial hair salon. Curved and linear forms, ink-like gradations and natural scents create a calm atmosphere. The design is intended as an urban retreat where visitors can relax.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- One can sense the detailing of crafts, smell the breath of nature and feel the vibes of curves and lines and the vibrancy of ink gradation within the space. Everything seems calm but it is like flowing water to the eyes. It is an artistic feast of vision, scent and touch that allows people to have a temporary getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. This is a space where people can calmly taste and drink in the rare ambient encounter.

- Production Technology
- The solidity of woods is absorbed in the rhyme of the surrounding materials. From afar, it looks like an installation art but once look closely, it is a piece of exquisite craft.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2019 and finished in December 2019 in Taipei.
- Operation Flow
- We deconstruct woodcrafts and textures in the space and subvert the traditional image of a hair salon with the means of the rearrangement of the materials and the reconstruction of the space and meanwhile infuse it with energy and aesthetic.
- Research
- Stepping into this unique and amiable space, one can feel the flow of visual aesthetics and enjoy the warmth from nature and the ingenious woodcrafts. This is an urban oasis where people can relax and immerse themselves.
- Inspiration
- The use of rhyme in textures, the refreshing smell of woods and the flowing art space breaks the imaginable space of the past and abandons the existing impression of how a commercial space should be.
