Almost the entire parpor has been outfitted with perforated walls for a very futuristic aesthetic. Nevertheless, this sci-fi element doesn't not compromise the overall femininity of the Ajax Beauty Salon. Instead, the perforations can also be likened to doilies or lace. Designed by Yasunari Tsukada Design, the Ajax Beauty Salon is located in an old area of downtown Osaka, Japan. Occupying a long-standing building with tons of windows, the clients wanted to keep the natural light flowing while blocking out the exterior view. The perforated walls, which uses three different sizes of holes, was the result. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Perforated Interiors:** Exploring the use of perforated walls in interior design to create unique and futuristic aesthetics. - **Fusion of Styles:** Blending futuristic elements with feminine aesthetics to create a new and innovative concept in beauty salon design. - **Light-enhancing Spaces:** Creating spaces that maximize natural light while maintaining privacy through the use of perforated walls. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to experiment with creative use of perforated walls in various spaces. - **Beauty and Wellness:** Innovative beauty salons can incorporate futuristic aesthetics to attract and engage customers. - **Architecture:** Architects can explore the integration of perforated walls in building design to enhance natural lighting and visual aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Terrazzo Hair Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koda-hair-salon.md) - [Local-Inspired Charming Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gxbar.md) - [Residential-Reflective Tranquil Clinics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aloop-clinic.md) - [Organically designed Salon Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curly-lab.md) - [Monochromatic Cosmetic Clinics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmetic-clinic.md) - [Radial Modern Barbershops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-barbershops.md) - [Art-Inspired Hair Salon Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-arts-salon.md) - [Upcycled Beauty Retail Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-retail1.md) - [Substantial Retail Environment Redesigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmetics-and-beauty-department.md)
