Aesop Store, Melbourne by Kerstin Thompson Architects

Coinciding with its 25th anniversary, cosmetics brand Aesop has launched its new flagship space on Collins Street in Melbourne’s CBD. The fit-out is the result of a collaboration between Aesop’s in-house creative team and Melbourne’s Kerstin Thompson Architects.

Reminiscent of an old-fashioned gentleman’s club, the interior exudes a masculine elegance, complete with leather curtain, brass cabinets, blackened steel and copper fixtures. Underfoot, goat hair carpet completes the old-world, textured aesthetic. A purpose-built mirrored bureau provides a focal point to the space as well as a place for products to be tried and tested.

In classic Aesop style, strong lines and geometric shapes create a classic look with a contemporary edge.

The Collins Street store is the 22nd Australian signature space for Aesop. New stores in Geneva, Paris, London, New York and Tokyo are set to follow.
