NAILUIMI is a nail care and beauty services salon that is located in Seongnae-dong, Seoul. The name of the salon means 'The beauty of nails'. After thinking about the beauty pursued by the NAILUIMI, we tried to express the beauty of modern and classics beauty in space.
The central space is where the nail work is done, and tables and shelves are placed. It emphasized modern beauty with an understated design that harmonizes metal materials, neutral colors, and simple forms. The shape of the table and shelf is balanced by using a smooth curve.
The wall space where pedicure work takes place expresses the classical beauty of the East. The main color of the beige is used to express the elegant oriental beauty in a gentle and warm color. The deep black point furniture adds depth to the space with the beauty of oriental painting, like a deep joke of deep ink permeating traditional Korean paper. Functionally, it was intended to design a space that satisfies the comfort felt by customers and the efficient work of workers. The podiums and table were ergonomically designed for nail technicians.
Through these plans, we tried to express a harmonious space that contained the beauty they pursued and consideration for customers and workers.
