Uniformity with no visible seams

A fully stocked and integrated bar provides a welcoming social culture for customers, while the secluded basin-area featuring shampoo lounges evoke calm and tranquility. 

The perfect combination of materials has played a key role in developing this space. In particular, thanks to its uniform surface with no visible seams and excellent hygienic properties, it was possible to adapt Corian® to the needs and meet the demands of Cataldo Salon, without having to sacrifice any part of its elegant and welcoming characteristics.  

Versatile design capabilities 

Designers required a clever material that was versatile and graceful to give the project life, with exceptional hygienic properties, and that would combine harmoniously with other materials like concrete and glass. Corian® countertops in Designer White, were ideal thanks to the infinite design capabilities offered, among other reasons. The result is a luxurious, comfortable retreat where clients can totally relax in a pleasant space  while receiving their hair treatments.
