Echos Coiffure – Facet by Bloomming
Belgian Hairdressing Magazine Showcases Facet in a Contemporary Salon Interior
Published in Echos Coiffure, November–December 2010
Belgian professional hairdressing magazine Echos Coiffure featured Facet, the modular room divider designed by Mireille Meijs and Bas van Leeuwen for Bloomming, in a report about the renovation of M&Team Hairdressers in Wuustwezel, Belgium.
The article focused on the salon’s transformation into a more efficient, organized and calming environment. Within the redesigned interior, Facet was selected as a distinctive architectural element, separating the washing area from the styling space while maintaining openness and visual connection throughout the salon.
Facet
Facet is a modular room divider composed of individually rotatable geometric elements.
Each facet-shaped module can be adjusted independently, allowing the transparency of the divider to be customized across its surface. This creates an ever-changing interplay of light, privacy and pattern, giving the installation both a functional and sculptural presence.
The design combines spatial separation with visual openness, making it suitable for interiors where privacy is desired without sacrificing light or a sense of spaciousness.
Designed for Flexible Interiors
In the salon featured by Echos Coiffure, Facet was used to define different functional zones while preserving the bright, minimalist character of the interior.
The article notes that the individual polyester modules can be rotated independently, allowing the owner to transform the appearance of the divider according to inspiration and the desired level of openness. This flexibility makes Facet particularly suitable for commercial environments where interior layouts and visual experiences play an important role.
A Focal Point in a Minimalist Space
The renovated salon was designed around simplicity, efficiency and customer comfort.
Against a backdrop of white furniture and clean architectural lines, Facet introduced texture, depth and visual interest. Rather than acting as a conventional partition, the divider became a focal point within the space, demonstrating how functional elements can also contribute to the identity of an interior.
