Contemporan is a new space that fusions two business concepts: hair salon and art gallery. Its owners, a hairstylist and a painter, are great art and sculpture lovers, so the starting point of the project was to combine the two passions in a salon.
In the design of the salon styling stations, Contemporan was inspired by the paintings in museums. So, big wood frames enclose the mirrors, pursuing the effect to the customer when relaxing in front of the mirror, to perceive herself or himself as a framed work of art.
Even if artworks are still on display in museums and white-cube galleries, unconventional spaces are preferred for their opposition to totally neutral conventional spaces.
