Le Coiffeur | Marseille (FR) | By Emma Harrison

Situated in the recently opened Les Terrasses du Port, part of Marseille's expansive 480 hectare Euromediterranée urban renewal project, is Le Coiffeur. Unveiled in May 2014 and designed by Margaux Keller in association with Bertrand Guillon Architecture, the salon is owned by stylist and Marseille native Pascal Lancien.

Decorated in muted pastel tones, the space is inspired by the Southern French seaside and features a shampoo cabana redolent of the cabins used by local fishermen alongside individual 'La Coiffeuse’ desks to ensure the privacy of each client. Beneath suspended Italian glass pendants, former Fabrica product designer Keller has created an interior that reflects the vibrancy of Marseille's new development whilst drawing on the city's more traditional industry.
