Luna Salon - The Essence Salon is an innovative interior design project that reimagines the traditional salon space through a minimalist and modernist approach, created by designers Yu-Jui Chang and Pei-Ling Chen. This 45m2 commercial space challenges conventional salon design paradigms by introducing a central long-shaped table that serves as both a haircut area and waiting area, fostering enhanced interaction between stylists and clients. The design philosophy emphasizes the artistic performance inherent in hairstyling, treating it as a form of performance art within a serene yet rugged environment. The space features deliberately exposed materials including iron and wood, creating a dialogue between rough and refined textures that mirrors the artistic nature of hairstyling. Notable design elements include movable round mirrors that enable the space to transform for multiple purposes such as meetings, classes, or presentations. The project, completed in Changhua, Taiwan between October 2015 and January 2016, employs hand-drilled wall techniques to create an aesthetic of calculated imperfection, bringing the space closer to nature. The design earned recognition with a Silver A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, acknowledging its innovative approach to spatial organization and material selection. The project successfully integrates essential salon functions including waiting areas, consultation spaces, five styling stations, washing facilities, and retail display within its linear layout, while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic that emphasizes the core essence of hairstyling services.
