Greetings friends!
Today, I want to focus your attention not so much on architecture as on the design solution of the building's facade, namely, the facade of the hairdresser's, which I saw, walking around our city.
Previously, I was a store owner and I know how important it is to attract the attention of buyers with minimal advertising costs, especially. if you are renting a room.
What I saw, very economical. practical. looks great on the wall of a building. does not spoil the general view of the architecture of the city, it is safe and very creative.
Perhaps such a solution will be useful for you and you, with minimal costs for yourself, will be able to decorate your store, and not only, such a design idea can be applied indoors, both in residential and in offices and retail outlets.
As you understood from this photograph. I look in the mirror.
It is the mirrors that will become the heroes of this post. Well, of course, I have to say that I admire the work of the man who pieced together waste glass and turned it into a small, designer masterpiece.
Before we get any closer, I want to say that one day I ordered a huge illuminated advertisement to be installed in the attic of my store.
This advertising box was made of plastic and polycarbonate. I was pleased with the work of the master, all the seams and prints were perfect, but when a strong wind blew, this box fell to the ground and crashed. Good thing at this moment, there were no people under it, it happened at night.
Since then, I have sworn not to use lightweight constructions that can behave inappropriately in different situations.
Let's get closer to the hairdresser's, which is located at the corner of a five-story residential building, which we call "Khrushchev", in honor of the first secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev. These houses were built with his approval for Soviet citizens.
Yes, this is the same Khrushchev who, from the UN rostrum, threatened to show America "Kuzkina's mother" and banged his boot on the rostrum.
It's time to talk about the main thing.
The design idea was to use mirror shards to create a mosaic.
In fact, it is very cheap, one might say, free material.
In any workshop that specializes in glass cutting, you can buy shards very cheaply, or they may offer you to pick them up for free.
As an anti-crisis measure, which saves a lot of money, this is a very good solution and it is, in addition to everything, other than that, great!
The only costly part is a round mirror with a print and an inscription at the top of the barber shop, which we will see later.
On this day, the weather was very cloudy and the mirrors reflect little light, but when the sun is shining, they shine like diamonds.
Here we see an image of a razor blade.
I want to say that this is a very delicate and precise work of a master of his craft.
I think you guessed right in this image of the scissors.
There are things that cannot be removed from the big picture, such as the downpipe, but it is invisible in this ensemble of mirrors.
This mosaic, made from waste, captures the purpose of this room.
I am sure that many people, rushing to work, stop near this wall and fix their hair and ties.
This is a useful advertisement lol.
Gas pipelines are also something that cannot be hidden in a closet, but I am looking at the mirrors, not at the gas pipeline recessed in the foam trim.
And the last element that I want to draw your attention to is the inscription with the name of the barber shop.
You can easily take care of her, wiping with a damp cloth, it is, convenient, but there is one drawback, there may be a ram who wants to throw a stone at your brainchild.
I saw this as a simple and effective solution for all times and peoples, lol.
Happy viewing and reading!
