To create our first store in New York City’s Meatpacking District, our in-house designers delved into the area’s history as an effervescent urban canvas for avant-garde artists. The interior architecture is pared back and monochromatic, so as not to divert attention from the ceiling, which serves as an overhead gallery for ephemeral exhibitions of contemporary art. The space is conceived as a gathering place for the local community, where art is celebrated in all forms of expression for its ability to delight and surprise. Divided into two rooms, the store was designed with modularity and flexibility in mind. Not only does the plywood joinery perform the usual task of housing our amber jars and bottles, but it also supports the store’s transformation into a studio, workshop, and event space for vernissages, banquets, and other celebratory occasions.

The second residency at Aesop Gansevoort Street is an installation by Canadian multidisciplinary design studio, research lab and factory Bocci. Known for creating distinctive sculptural lighting, Bocci is showcasing an abundance of its original 14 pendant lamp—reimagined in amber glass, evocative of our bottles and jars—for one year in-store. The handcrafted lights give off a soft candle-like glow, and are composed of two poured-glass hemispheres: as is the case with Aesop stores, no two are exactly the same.
At the cantilevered central basin in the first room, customers can explore our full range of products for the skin, hair, body and home. In the depths of the second room, an unassuming cabinet offers a singular experience—a hidden basin for one-on-one consultations. A pair of velvet banquettes invites visitors to take the load off their feet and admire the spectacle above.
