Our store has been designed by New York architect Jeremy Barbour, founder of Tacklebox, with the direction of Aesop Creative Manager Hiroko Shiratori.
This space references concrete, oak and industrial felt in its design, inspired by the work of German artist Joseph Beuys.
And we are delighted to bring new life to a piece of American history; the store's sink was salvaged from Bethlehem Steel's 140-year-old plant in Pennsylvania. In a nod of respect to a company largely responsible for laying the steel foundations of modern New York, this sink will serve as the point of introduction for customers experiencing Aesop for the first time.
From University Place, we are happy to discover the historically rich neighbourhood. Three blocks north in Union Square Park stands James Fountain, an enduring aide-mémoire of the importance of kindness and virtue. And three blocks south sits Washington Square Park, where students fill what was once the stage for struggles in the seventeenth century and the 1960s.
We invite you to visit us and learn more about Aesop. Trained consultants are available to offer personalised assessments of your skin and to guide you through our range.
