Aesop is pleased to announce the opening of our third Paris store in rue Vieille du Temple in Le Marais. This historical precinct has successively been home to religious orders, nobility and artisans, and was thankfully preserved from Haussmann's overhaul of Paris. Today, it displays beautiful buildings in narrow streets, and hosts many excellent cafés and museums. We would not have dreamt of better neighbours.
Aesop Le Marais is a light, minimalist room of polished concrete, with windows on the back wall allowing light to fill the room, and offering a glimpse of lush greenery in the courtyard. The key element of the design is the integration of 427 small polished steel dishes into the walls, an acknowledgement of the industrial history of this part of Paris. The dishes are, in fact, the curved 'lids' which close the pipes used as plumbing throughout the city. Utilising this material - which is cold to touch yet catches warm light, aesthetically pleasing yet functional - lends the space lyricism and invites our customers to explore and interact with our products.
As always, the design serves to showcase Aesop's full range of superb skin, hair and body products.
We invite you to visit this delightful space at your earliest convenience.
