VOGHERA / COMMERCIAL / HAIR + NAIL

COBALTINTEGRATED HAIR, NAIL AND PEDICURE SPACE

Within a long, narrow unit, hair, nail, wash, pedicure, display and storage functions are organised into a clear, bright commercial system suited to intensive daily use.

02 / BEAUTY SPACE

A small measure of blue,
enough to make the space memorable.

DESIGN POSITION

Organise the order first,
then address the form.

The original unit was a long rectangle with fragmented walls, columns and ceiling conditions. The new operation needed hair, nail, wash and pedicure services, reception, product display and extensive daily storage. COBALT therefore begins with the order between functions rather than an applied form.

01
ORDERLinear order

Hair stations run continuously along the left, nail and pedicure services are grouped on the right, the wash area sits at the back and a clear central route remains open.

02
REFLECTIONSpace through reflection

Continuous full-height mirrors support hair services while extending the perceived width and light of the narrow unit.

03
STORAGEStorage first

Product display, open shelves, storage and numbered lockers are integrated so frequently used items have a defined place from the design stage.

04
COBALT BLUEBrand cue

Cobalt blue appears only at key points—reception, door frames, shelves, edges and signage. A small amount of colour is enough to establish recognition.

SPACE ORGANIZATION

One interior,
different services without interruption.

The plan follows the existing depth. Customers understand each function on arrival, while crossings between staff, equipment trolleys and services are reduced.

OPERATION / STORAGE

Once the business is operating,
storage matters more than decoration.

Display, open shelves, storage and numbered lockers are integrated along the right. Frequently used polish becomes a visual element, while staff stools store beneath the pedicure platform. Towels, tools, products and personal items do not need improvised positions after opening.

BEFORE / SITE RECORD

From an empty long box
to a clear multi-service operation.

The original unit was deep, with daylight concentrated at the entrance. The design retains this main axis and uses light, mirrors, timber and cobalt blue to build depth and identity.

A measure of timber, a measure of warm light,
and a small measure of blue.

Balancing functional density, operational efficiency and brand recognition.
