Woven in green
Within the Siam Paragon retail centre in Bangkok, Aesop’s in-house design team created a serene place to explore the brand’s full range of products for the skin, hair, body and home. The architects were inspired by the traditional Thai art of Krajood weaving—saltmarsh bulrush that grows in the country’s southern region braided by hand to form a strong, flat and flexible material often encountered in the form of bags, mats and baskets.
In collaboration with SARNSARD studio and the Pa-Nan Pandanus artisans, Aesop fashioned a series of woven panels of undyed bulrush framed by aged brass. These repeating modules in a gleaming olive hue adorn the quartet of volumes that make up the counter. At the communal basin, patrons may enjoy the sensation of applying Aesop’s formulations directly onto their skin with gently running water. Underfoot, ceramic tiles in the same marshy green reinforce the monochromatic effect. Aesop welcomes all faces—new or familiar—to visit this verdant environment.
