The Cube Nail Spa

The Cube

The Cube is a nail salon interior in Toronto. The concept comes from the Rubik cube, and the walls, floor and ceiling are covered in a continuous ceramic tile pattern. Pink tiles of 4 by 4 inches and 8 by 8 inches align from wall to floor and counter, so the grid flows without a break at each corner. Rectangular and cube shaped shelves are carved from the wall. Copper finishes and pastel colors create a warm and modern setting that differs from the usual glossy image of a nail salon.

The Cube Nail Spa by Zoe Lee has been featured as a creative example of architectural design by the A' Design Award. The Cube Nail Spa was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design prize that honors superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
