This is a tenant improvement project, located on Montana Ave. in Santa Monica, CA. Sechoir+, pronounced “seh-shwahr”, is simply translated in French, as “dryer”.

This is a salon/dry bar. The aesthetic is a contrast of traditional French provincial, and modern design.

The space is both inviting and exciting and pairs well while sipping a glass of french wine.

Using a folded plane that penetrates through the space, allows for a unique back light work environment, coupled with warm and flattering task lighting.
