style icious

check out this hip, modern, chaotic and crazidelic hair salon/music hall in dublin--the style club. all due to the vision of new yorker garry cohn (an architect who works at douglas wallace in dublin). 'I was thinking of Alice in Wonderland as a punk rocker,' he says of his interiors. 'It works because of the carefully placed proportions of graphics, geometrics and natural forms, meaning your eye doesn’t get lost. And then the white floor with its tiled runner grounds the whole space.'

  1. i've heard so many great things about Ireland blowing away the EU and the UK economies with their great business incentives that have truly helped unleash the power of individuals and their businesses. no surprise that after so many decades (centuries) just in the doldrums that they break out with such a place as this!!! sui generis... thanks for sharing.
