STUDIO RAūPO
DESIGN & BUILD
HAIR SALON

MIAMI, FL
2023

Step into a realm of serene beauty at Studio RAūPO's hair salon, a masterpiece envisioned and brought to life by FRM Studio. Inspired by the philosophy of wabi-sabi, this salon transcends conventional notions of aesthetics, embracing imperfections and finding beauty in the transient and natural.

FRM Studio has seamlessly woven the essence of wabi-sabi into every aspect of the design. Red oak wood, with its warm hues and natural irregularities, serves as the foundational element, embodying the impermanence and authenticity central to wabi-sabi. Cane webbing, with its delicate and intricate patterns, adds an extra layer of texture and organic charm, creating a space that resonates with simplicity and understated elegance.

The salon features eight thoughtfully crafted hair-dressing stations, each a sanctuary of creativity and tranquility. The layout, inspired by the fluidity of nature, encourages a seamless flow, fostering a sense of calm amidst the vibrant energy of Miami. The design pays homage to the beauty of asymmetry and the allure of the imperfect, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and contemporary.
