LEONORA STUDIO
Discover the projectBehind the distinction.
In a major branding and design overhaul, a renowned beauty salon chain refreshed its identity, merging operational consistency with a graphic and architectural facelift. The revamp emphasized a dynamic, energy-filled space, featuring a welcoming front desk, specialized beauty stations, and clinical microblading rooms. Central to the concept was movement, manifested in wood textures, sinuous steps, and iconic mirrors, alongside translucent fabric clouds overhead. Strategic use of glass and mirrors amplified the salon’s vibrancy, while the careful material selection balanced robust functionality with subtle sophistication. Lighting enhanced the sensory experience, complementing the meticulously chosen colors, furniture, and signature pendant lamps, all reflecting the brand’s essence of freshness, charm, and sophistication.
