Japonica, a UK salon brand, is known for its environmentally sound and biophilic atmosphere. Keeping their philosophy of biophilia in mind, I intend the salon to become a relaxing space that contrasts the city’s chaotic lifestyle. It is meant to feel like a calming, natural retreat amongst the busy area. The highlight of the salon will be the wooden wall installation which imitates tree trunks by making the salon a revitalizing forest that encourages wellbeing for the clients. Clients can come in and learn about the products as they are experiencing the meditative temperament from the interior design. Therefore, by consciously including nature in an interior, we are unconsciously reconnecting, bringing the great outdoors into our constructed world.
