Aesop's first London outlet

I had blogged about the wonderful packaging and interiors of Australian skincare brand Aesop in a previous post.

Just found out that Ilse Crawford of Studio Ilse has designed the first London outlet for this wonderful brand in a restored Victorian mansion. The design of the interior translates the Aesop values through "a loving restoration of the historic fabric with modern and clean interventions". A large ceramic circular basin sits grandly in the middle of the space to emphasize the ritual of cleansing. For more pics, click here.
