11. Matte Black Iron and Glass Partition Screens
- Introduction: Zoning large open spaces without sacrificing natural light is an architectural art. Crittall-style matte black iron and fluted glass partitions divide shampoo areas from cutting stations with effortless grace.
- What This Idea Means: It provides acoustic and visual privacy for specialized treatments like hot towel shaves or facial grooming while preserving an open, airy floor plan.
- How to Make It: Construct floor-to-ceiling or half-height steel frame partitions utilizing reeded, fluted, or seeded glass panels that diffuse light while obscuring direct views.
- Tips and Variations: Use sliding or hinged iron doors with knurled brass hardware to enhance the bespoke industrial architectural feel of the salon.
