Chemical Reactions CODE＋LIM, a hair salon representative of Harajuku, Tokyo In recent years. Customers are increasing year on year, especially popular with young people. Having achieved great growth and change, an expansion of seating in proportion to the popularity was necessary. And, in 2018, it has reopened after renovation. Their new theme is "Sending out CODE from the secret of CODE". In addition to the goal of enhancing their features as a hair salon, they wish to change into something more than this- a place that also sends out information about artistic events and various kinds of art. Anticipating occasional use for hair shows, art events, and as a photography studio, there was a necessity to change the interior space in many shapes and ways. The styling surface being movable was a condition to achieve this. The image that this hair salon has is one of continuing to send out bright colored, rare and new hairstyles. While staying free, it overflow with energy. Under the given theme, they wanted to tempt in the people of the ever-changing Harajuku with the salon's unique street feel and fused interior design. Separate to the salon's theme, there is a design concept of "chemical reactions". When the question "How is art born?" was pursued, they felt that it was something else that which inspired them. "Something that is born when different materials collide" They formed a hypothesis that art is a chemical reaction that occurs within the brain. Within the salon, which was built based on the above design concept, with large boxes sitting squarely inside. Shampoo area, coloring area, staff room, reception... Imagining each of these individual areas as spaces which cannot proportionately be removed, and combining them together. (Imagining each of these spaces as particles, and expressing a chemical reaction where they collide.) They are all angled and placed seemingly coincidentally, but their line of flow and area are both calculated, with a shape that has been determined and is necessary. (Made with CODE＋LIM ) Hairstyles are the same. They look like the color and shape has been made by coincidence, but have been calculated meticulously. They are visualized like architecture, and linked to the theme. The orange color used is chosen to express a street style and energetic atmosphere, but alludes to the theme of "rust". Rust is made from oxidation-reduction reactions, or "corrosion". Both "rust" and "corrosion" have negative connotations, but even things such as complexes, which are generally thought of as being negative can be transformed into something positive with the skill of CODE＋LIM staff. This is the kind of image that we got from the salon. The colors seen on the slanted walls appear a dark orange from one angle, yet a lighter orange from another. We secretly put the message of "every color changes depending on the angle of the person looking" into this design. To enhance the features of the salon, they expressed their wish to increase the number of shampoo basins in advance. However, with regard to the ground-floor space available, installing six shampoo basins proved to be the biggest cause for concern due to the space available. In terms of flow planning, ensuring a passageway proved to be the most difficult. By installing the shampoo basins diagonally in the line of flow, the problem was avoided, but the biggest concern was the customers' mental aspect. If the space between customers is too small, they may feel uncomfortable, and as customers have to almost lie horizontally when using the shampoo basins, this becomes even more sensitive with regard to surroundings. Based on this, despite shampoo basins usually being open, pillars were built between the shampoo basins as a partition between customers. We wanted the customers to feel a slight sense of "personal space" with the arch style design despite the limited space. At the same time, they were made so that there is no sense of feeling cooped-up or uneasy like you would get from a dome design CT scan. In addition, the logo design designed by Mr. HARUHIKO TANIUCHI was pursued concurrently with the interior design. The design takes inspiration from CODE when written in Morse code.
