Too Far East Barber & Co. was barbershop where east meets with west and where the old is weaved with the new. It represents our journey of going so far east that we come out west. The design is to use the old Hong Kong barber shop as a model (Shanghai Barber) and then add new simple elements to design a new school while retaining the taste of Shanghai barber shop. As you can see in the picture, the ground pattern is the pattern of the Shanghai barber shop, but the carefully observed pattern is different from the ground pattern of the Shanghai barber shop. The barber chair and other furniture retain the characteristics of Shanghai barber shop.
