A sanctuary of simplicity
Traditional Thai roofs, oversized and sloping, provide shelter from tropical heat and rain. Constructed in two layers, with enamelled tiles supported by wooden frames and trusses, the structures are light and waterproof. These principles were translated into Aesop’s design for Central Chidlom, protecting customers from the bright lighting and cacophony of the mall.
Usually hidden beneath tiles, typical bamboo supports are celebrated as a singular architectural surface. The flexibility of bamboo rods allows for an expansive repertoire of forms. Even though the counter is an open space within a larger hall, the arching curves envelop visitors, creating a sense of intimacy.
Rattan countertops enhance the natural warmth of the space. Curious noses are invited to explore the array of Eaux de Parfum in the mellow glow of a 1970s lamp.
