Aesop East Hampton, New York, US
The newest addition to Aesop's burgeoning retail empire is a minimal masterpiece, located in the Hamptons. The Australian beauty luminary recruited the help of architecture firm, NADAAA, who took design cues from the region's maritime heritage, with products showcased on floating shelves fixed to digitally fabricated pegboard panels lining aqua walls. A large washbasin fashioned from Vermont soapstone takes centre stage as an invitation for visitors to sample the plethora of products on offer. Industrial copper pipes wrap themselves around the sink, designed to reflect the copper valves and taps found in the meticulously kept gardens of the surrounding neighbourhood.
