Chi Chi Club Hamburg by Deglan Studios.

Deglan Studios has designed this beauty clinic in Hamburg to be organised around a series of modular walls. The 200-square-metre interior was divided into a public reception and semi-public treatment areas with private spaces clustered around and behind.

At the entrance, a large asymmetrical table designed and crafted by Deglan, serves as an informal reception desk, where sit-down classes are held and small objects are exhibited. The lounge area lies adjacent. Working as the antithesis to sterile waiting areas, it lures clients and staff alike to get comfortable on the sofa placed atop the asymmetrical hand-cut carpet. An oversized floor-lamp sits together with another unique mineral table and a raw oak wall sculpture, all crafted by Deglan.

The undulating forms of the walls help hide functions within, like a packaging locker or storage. Behind, in the treatment area, bespoke monolithic daybeds clad in natural stone are seen next to each other, creating an open and friendly atmosphere of communication and collaboration.

Wellness From Within: Adytum Spa in Canberra by Pattern Studio.

This spa features a dedicated retail space and café, as well as spacious individual manicure pods, enclosed private treatment ...

An oversized washbasin, wrapped in natural oak panels and lit by two custom stainless steel pendant lights, functions as a zoning element. Massage therapy and reconstructive tattooing services that require more privacy are carried out in two separate areas framed by another set of built modules.

The only room that is physically divided by a wall and door, besides the bathroom, is the team’s kitchen where everyone gathers around an island also clad in natural oak panels, featuring an inset stainless-steel countertop.
