In Pangrati, Nailon Room by so far studio transforms a compact 20 sqm nail studio into an intimate, atmospheric setting. Defined by a suspended textile installation spanning the ceiling, the translucent surface filters light softly throughout the interior, creating spatial softness, diffused illumination, and a quietly scenographic experience.
A restrained material palette of cement plaster, plywood surfaces, and pastel pistachio-toned details establishes a calm architectural language grounded in tactility and texture.
Clean geometries and carefully calibrated proportions reinforce the clarity of the interior composition, while subtle reflections and layered transparencies continuously alter the perception of depth throughout the day. Positioned along the main axis, a large mirror visually amplifies the space, multiplying the presence of the suspended textile element and dissolving the physical boundaries of the compact plan.
The spatial organization is structured around a linear bar-like element that simultaneously functions as reception desk, manicure station, and social threshold.
Opposite, a continuous built-in bench integrates the waiting area, product display, and pedicure station into a single architectural gesture, allowing the studio’s multiple functions to coexist seamlessly without fragmenting the spatial experience.
Rather than prioritizing capacity or visual excess, the project focuses on atmosphere and softness.
Through diffused light, muted tonalities, and material continuity, Nailon Room seeks to momentarily detach visitors from the intensity of the city, creating an interior that feels intimate and calm.
