Konstantinos Tzapos is a master hairstylist and a qualified automotive mechatronic technician. After an unsuccessful hunt for attractive but affordable premises in Munich’s city center, he is ready to roll out into the market in a fully equipped professional salon installed in an American step van. Following the creative leitmotifs of freedom and departure Designliga’s realized naming, corporate, and interior design. While the corporate design units a 60s inspired stylized hair element; with a clean-cut, modern note, the interior design references the aesthetic of campervan fit-outs. The dimensions and functions of the storage spaces were tailored precisely to the work steps performed by the hairdresser. The interior is built from European maple. A large skylight provides natural light. Teamed with homely details like leather handles and kilim-style printed flooring, the wood creates a warm, calm mood. The kilim pattern features details of razors, surfboards, and coffee cups, enticing the visitor to look more closely.
