A new interior for barber and men's hairdresser Haartiest
Since 2017, Thomas Hondequin has been running his barbershop on Jan Persijnstraat in Kortrijk. He felt it was time to revamp the interior and make it visually stronger. The DESIGN IN SHOPS project came at just the right time. With DESIGN IN SHOPS, the City of Kortrijk and Designregio Kortrijk want to give colour to Kortrijk as a city of innovation and design.
Within the project, he was paired with Lille-based environmental and interior architect Quentin Vaulot. Quentin went for a more artistic interpretation of the interior, while retaining the natural elements Thomas likes to see in his business. This combination resulted in a warm, homely and atmospheric setting.
"I chose marble and natural stone, a moss-green accent wall and rough simple wood material in natural colour for the table, a wall and the accessory cabinets of the barber chairs. In doing so, I also designed the two lake lamps and an original chandelier." says Quentin.
