Silver screen from Commercial Design Trends volume 2414
Most hairdressing salons recognise that patrons appreciate an element of privacy when succumbing to the artistic flair of their stylists. This was a major part of the brief from Zurri, a salon in Ellerslie, Auckland, when contracting design firm Yellowfox to update its salon.
To prevent the salon from seeming like a viewing tank for passers-by, Yellowfox specified a Chaincraft metal screen, says Claire Bruford, who completed the project with fellow designer Andrea Burney.
"This masks the salon from the street without compromising light, which is also important for a salon. The chain was a cost-effective solution, which creates a distinctive shopfront for the salon. At night, lighting makes the screen appear like a sparkling wall of silver."
Chaincraft specialises in anodised aluminium architectural chain screens, manufactured in Europe and hand assembled to your specifications in New Zealand.

To create a high-profile street front for this salon, design company Yellowfox used a metal screen from Chaincraft.
Below Although the screen draws the attention of passers by, salon clients are subtly obscured.
Below Another distinctive design element is the Vision Wallcoverings wallpaper, chosen from the Glamour range. The rest of the salon was painted in Resene Woodbark and Resene Eighth Thorndon Cream.
