Aesop, again!

Aesop, again!

Once again Aesop open another beautifully compact, succinct space in which to market their products. The company's policy of commissioning unique spaces for every location, despite breaking with the rules of brand identity, has enabled them to work with a wide variety of designers and to develop, perhaps inadvertently, an articulate conversation about the almost limitless ways in which one product might be presented. Aesop's timeless and distinctive packaging anchors each branch in a discrete but persuasive way. This new London space breaks with the usual neutral pallet found in most of the others with it's vivid green tiled floor and flashes of copper pipe against the brilliant white-wash surfaces.

"I have often noticed that when women look at themselves in every reflection, and take furtive peeps into their hand looking-glassses, it is hardly ever, as is generally supposed, from vanity, but much more often from a feeling that all is not quite as it should be."
- Nancy Mitford, 1945, Mitford
