This multi-faceted mirror set creates a unique spatial experience that shifts perspectives and changes perceptions. Its two-axis tilt creates a symbolic mirror with a hair design, allowing users to "change their perspective, change their life". The mirrors provide privacy for four seats by making it difficult for lines of sight to cross, even between adjacent seats. The linear design of the mirrors contrasts with the existing wall surfaces of the building's frame, which are composed of curves. The new partitions blend into the space by adopting the same curves as their motif.

The curved wall of the relaxing personal eyecare room, which captures natural light from the full-height windows to create a soft, rich atmosphere, is reflected in the solid mirror set, along with the curtains treated with thin vapour-deposited silver foil. Installed behind a slit in the wall, the end face of the mirror set, shaped by its skewed axes, is visible from the intersection on the avenue. This serves as the symbol of the salon, resonating with the logo which symbolizes perspective, field of view, and viewpoint. The subtle shifts of perspective and the space projected by the rich background in the mirrors offer a unique and comforting experience.
