Aesop was established in Melbourne in 1987, and has since been developing efficacious and aromatic formulations for the skin, hair, body and home, guided by a sincere interest in intelligent design—their pared–back containers are created with the utmost care to ensure functionality and pleasure, and each store interior is created with careful consideration to the fabric of its neighbourhood. Avant–garde and sensitive store design has been and will continue to be an integral part of what Aesop is—true to the brand’s conviction that few things are more conducive to a life well-lived than well–considered design.
Aesop has been developing formulations for the skin, hair, body and home, guided by a deep interest in intelligent design. With artist Jessie French—founder of pioneering materials studio OTHER MATTER—the brand presents Enduring Forms, an exploration of sustainable solutions. French will debut a versatile new leather-like material, made by reprocessing algae-based bioplastics used for previous Aesop installations. At Aesop Nyhavn, window decals of oversized product silhouettes, made from the bioplastics, will highlight Parsley Seed Skin Care—formulations for city skin, available to sample in-store. And at Aesop Kronprinsensgade, visitors will be invited to peel off a hand-balm-tube-shaped piece, to take home as an unusual momento.
