Taipei Eros
The hair salons is based on the geometry of black, white, and grey colors. The gestures of hair-cutting are translated into the massing of the sculptural entities. The triangular motif shapes the functional cubes and planes from ceiling to floors through the actions of piling, cutting, and sewing. The light bars embedded in the dividing lines contributes to numerous lighting belts, serving as supplemental lighting while solving the condition of the lowered ceiling. They extend and meander with the reflection of the large mirror, shuttling freely between the planes and the three-dimensionality.
