Studio A is located in Galleria shopping centre in Burgas, Bulgaria. The creative challenge is optimizing insufficient area into a smart working space. The ethical one – reduction of the elements until reaching the functional minimum and the tranquil maximum of the space. A hairshop, an information desk, waiting clients seats, two hairdressing chairs, sink chair area, a wardrobe and a storage squeeze into 35 square metres.

The optical expansion of the space is achieved through the design of the furniture that puts in order and hides all hairdressers’ attributes; the light zen inspired colour scheme; the mirror wall. The calming nature theme is revealed through the sand painted walls, the crystal water coloured sink chair area, the wooden furniture, the benjamin tree – all a prerequisite for a soothing experience.
