Around the perimeter of the store, vertically folding blinds made from timber lattice are opened or closed according to the choreography of a customer’s experience. These elements evoke the adjustable wicker panels of local households, which allow just enough air through while also sheltering inhabitants from the heat and outdoor hubbub. Aesop's world of unconventional Eaux de Parfum is hidden behind one of the timber screens—to be accessed when one expresses an interest in aromatic discoveries. For those seeking a more intimate encounter with the brand’s efficacious and sensorial skin care offering, an alcove with an individual basin and comfortable seating can be discovered when further timber grids are retracted. Here, guests are invited to apply formulations directly onto their face, as if in the privacy of their own bathroom.
