Les Ongles Diva Nails is adorned with white, flowers, and pink accents.

Located in the heart of Montreal, the nail salon Diva Nails seeks to offer a new experience to its clientele. Designed by ISSASTUDIO, the project explores the theme of blooming. The space has been designed to provide its clientele with an escape from urban life, catering to the needs of today's women.

An identity inspired by biophilia

The brand identity of Diva Nails is the embryo of the project. Les Ongles Diva Nails goes beyond aesthetics, creating a space that allows for a better user experience, as well as fostering a sense of belonging for the customer. Inspired by the lotus flower, the project fits into the tradition of interior design projects that focus on well-being and the relationship with the natural environment. Through the use of color and flowers, it establishes a strong connection with nature. In other words, the patterns, furniture shapes, lighting, and other project components have all been carefully selected in the spirit of biophilia.

A functional division of spaces

The space, designed by ISSASTUDIO, was conceived with a careful analysis of the functional and technical needs of the salon. The division into two main areas arises from the need to respect specific constraints related to ventilation and safety, while ensuring comfort and service quality. On one side is the area dedicated to nail application, on the other, a zone reserved for manicure and pedicure treatments, where the atmosphere is more intimate and relaxing, ideal for promoting a moment of well-being. Acting as a hinge between these two environments is the reception area, a fluid space that guides the client and naturally distributes flows towards the various services offered.

Soft shapes and colors on display

Along the walls of the living room, a series of recessed arches creates a harmonious visual rhythm and serves as an elegant showcase for displaying products. These architectural elements, designed as display containers, highlight the wide range of available enamels, transforming the color choice into an experiential moment for the customer. To complete the soft and enveloping atmosphere, custom-made work tables contribute, characterized by curvilinear lines that recall the shape of the arches and coherently interact with the project's identity. The combination of furniture, finishes, and color choices reflects the personal taste of the owners, who wanted to create a space that is simple, welcoming, and consistent with the brand's values.
