Aesop, again!

There is a rather interesting progression emerging in Aesop's visionary parade of stores. As each is a bespoke fit for the location and each is utterly different , so there are subtle strands of aesthetic DNA trailing through this emerging narrative. The green tiles, here referencing both Bauhaus and Gerhard Richter's grid pictures,  simultaneously echo the beautiful floor of the recent Covent Garden store in London. Quite aside from Aesop's often excellent products, as a brand they should win some sort of award for services to interior space. Each one a small jewel in an often otherwise underwhelming setting.

"Horror is the leitmotif of an architecture forced to continually transform; an architecture that, in the process, appears beleaguered by, and ambivalent about, aesthetics."
