The atmosphere inside could be described as something like ”modern nostalgia”, as some of the design elements feel recognizable giving the space a rigid and trustworthy flavor, while other fragments are unexpected, adding a sharp and slightly playful touch. Making the design feel effortless while at the same time managing to surprise.
The interior of the salon is dominated by typical Funkis materials such as the white, slightly rounded Alvar Aalto-inspired tiles, oak veneer, compact laminate, and structured glass. By adding details like the nickel-plated brass handles, linen fabrics, and porcelain floor tiles inspired by the Swedish Ekeberg marble, the architects were looking to add elegance and exclusiveness to the experience. While on the other hand, the fresh light blue and dark blue color accents add a modern and bold feeling to the space.
”We saw potential in adding luxury, softness, and a young vibe to this simple, strict, and socialistic style. Believing that something new and unique could rise from the merge.” Says ASKA co-founder Polina Sandström.
”By interpreting the same design elements (colors, shapes, materials) in different ways, we believe we can create visual interest while keeping a coherent and clear impression of the space. The goal is to create a specific and memorable experience.” Says ASKA co-founder Madeleine Klingspor.
