SELECTED PROJECT

HAIR CORNER

Glass within architecture.

Blue gradient glass introduces colour and rhythm to a bright salon interior, shaping gentle boundaries between workstations while keeping the wider space visually connected.

A bright salon interior divided by blue gradient glass screens

Selected from the POBO project archive.

Colour as atmosphere.

A bright salon interior is organised around a sequence of blue gradient screens. White surfaces and repeated workstations give the colour a clear setting. A corresponding workshop sample brings the same visual direction down to the scale of an individual panel.

02 / A project reading

Background / spatial intent

Long views connect the entrance, seating and workstations. The screens introduce a sequence of boundaries while the wider room remains legible. Their blue colour is strongest towards the lower part of the composition, leaving a lighter field above.

A sense of the detail.

03 / A project reading

Application of glass

Gradient glass introduces colour without closing down the view through the room. The interior and workshop sample offer two readings of the same material direction: a blue atmosphere at the scale of the salon, and a fine rhythm of colour and lines at the scale of the panel.

04 / A project reading

Material expression

The blue gradient sits within a predominantly neutral palette. Fine horizontal marks become more evident in the sample photograph. Colour is read first as an atmosphere within the room, then as a surface treatment with a visible rhythm.

Details that shape the reading.

Colour in a neutral room

Blue screens give the interior a distinct accent without filling every surface.

Repeated boundaries

A sequence of panels relates to the rhythm of the workstations.

Space and sample

The workshop view allows the gradient and fine lines to be considered at close range.
