Project Name | Tzapos – The Flying Hairdressers | Design Studio | Designliga |
The graphic style of 1960's era illustrations became the creative starting point for the illustrated locks of hair playfully waving along the sides of the gray-painted van. Of course, the logo and contact info take center stage on all four sides of the van and also feature on the inside of the back doors - so that they are visible for possible clients when the doors are opened.
Warm, natural elements are the highlights in the interior, with the walls, floor and roof completely fitted in a honey-colored, European maple wood, making the van feel very welcoming and homey. The driver's seat is covered in a light gray leather - similar to the shade used on the van's exterior - while a small waiting area beside the driver’s seat boasts a violet covered cushion and a stack of magazines beside a large coffee maker - both staples in any fine salon.
In the back is where the actual "magic" happens. A large, old-fashioned barber’s chair, a black leather and stainless steel construction, is the obvious star of the setting. Concealed around it in various ingenious ways is a sink - which pulls open behind the chair, when needed - as well as many leather handles, mounts and fixtures to hold the hairdresser's tools of trade - think brushes and styling products. Adding warmth to the space is a modern interpretation of a kilim on the floor directly below the chair - this one however being vinyl covered and featuring razors, surfboards and coffee cups in its design - while a skylight above allows plenty of natural light to flood the small space.
Another saying that applies to Tzapos - The Flying Hairdressers' van is that "good things come in small packages." And it looks like this one is ready to take over where others can't go, and always in search of (creating) that perfect wave!
