Concept
Skincare products all contain water, oils, binders, and fragrance. Each of them have small oil particles inside them that can be seen under a microscope. These can inspire space by dictating the breakdown of
product types into individual particle forms.
This organic space will therefore explore the breakdown of Aesop products in order to emphasize their focus on the marriage between synthetic and natural ingredients.

Facade Design
The facade will feature particle rooms extruding from a parametric circle pattern. This design is a metaphor for the absorption of skincare products into the skin. The opening and closing of skin cells is emulated by the parametric circles, and the particles represent the varied ingredients in Aesop products. The facade also allows on-lookers to view the transparent retail space, in order to emphasize Aesop’s honest manufacturing process.
