Aesop Rue de la Fontaine

Aesop's first Geneva store, located on the city's Rue de la Fontaine, opened in mid May, 2012.

Geneva is home to the gigantic Hadron Collider, the United Nations' European headquarters and an historic finance sector managing assets worth more than one trillion US dollars. Locals can now enjoy Aesop at close range.

With these attributes in mind, Rodney Eggleston from Melbourne's March Studios chose copper as the primary material for the store's interior. Eggleston's use of this metal represents the vital role copper has played as a form of currency throughout the ages, its importance to Geneva's great wealth, and as a nod to fantasies of a clandestine alpine bunker. Copper is used modestly and practically here, accented by discrete textural details of cork, sisal and wood.

Central to the store's design is a large, angled copper sink inspired by the 1970s lustre of a Citroen CX, which folds itself into the consultation counter and demonstration area.
The project is finished with Alfredo Häberli's DS-480 lounge chair, upholstered in tan leather.
