parisian design group ciguë has recently completed a retail space for aesop, the luxury skin-care line, in london's soho area.
the historic site has transformed from farmland to royal park, red light district to bohemian neighborhood before housing the aesop store.
the contrasting site is mirrored inside as smooth enameled bent steel shelves are fastened onto stone walls. the use of the material
was chosen for its longevity. the form and color echos the wall, creating an understated display area that stretches
along the whole perimeter.
