Located in Singapore's Raffles Hotel, the hair salon opened with the 2019 hotel renewal. Although the material is inorganic, the set surface is characterized by a semi-private room to match the atmosphere of a prestigious hotel. The concept is "Peaceful coexistence" The venue's name is 日月(toki). Even if there are days where you can't see the moon or the sun, they will eventually slowly rise again. The Raffles hotel, with its long history and high-class appearance, incorporates the noble, solemn feelings that such a peaceful scene inspires, and the dignified class that comes with them. Singapore, where different races and cultures coexist, does not exclude other cultures but respects and accepts them while not losing its identity. The lack of completely private rooms and the presence of a wide-open area in 日月+LIM are meant to express this. Each tower is not isolated but coexists with the others while maintaining a reasonable distance. Rather than simply mixing up the historical backgrounds of the various cultures present in Singapore, we decided to incorporate the message that “coexistence is peace” into the very design of 日月+LIM, with its store within the historic hotel representing Singapore.
