The ceiling’s model is made up of three different designs of an upside-down pyramid: open, closed or semi-open. Each design is placed accordingly to provide enough light for each area.

Visiondivision’s Paper Cut Parlor is not only appealing to the eyes and can keep your mind occupied while in the waiting room, but it also boasts amazing acoustic properties.

The Paper Cut Parlor is expected to be completed by summer 2011.
