0321 Studio Shapes Empowerment in nail studios’ Purple hues
0321 Studio presents MaliMali Nail Art, a salon in Shenzhen, China, focusing on girls’ empowerment and self-expression. The design centers around a bold purple palette, which dominates the interior and functional elements, creating an atmosphere that encourages visitors to embrace their identities. This vibrant color choice injects energy and creativity into the 45-square-meter space, breaking away from neutral-toned environments. Processing techniques enhance the metal materials used, ensuring that every functional feature aligns with the salon’s core aesthetic, making the space both inviting and purposeful. Every perforation, edge fold, and structural element is intentional, ensuring the space remains practical without unnecessary elements.

MaliMali Nail Art encourages visitors to embrace change
0321 Studio’s goal is to create a space where young women feel empowered through design transformations. The MaliMali Nail Art salon encourages girls to embrace change, however small, as a way to build courage and self-assurance. The Shenzhen-based studio promotes an environment of sharing and communication, where visitors can feel a sense of community and connection, all while presenting themselves authentically. Purple, as the dominant shade, becomes a creative statement and the symbol of empowerment, capturing the attention of every visitor. This bold choice adds to the design, fostering an appreciation for beauty, confidence, and resilience in everyday life.
