Aesop, King Street

Aesop's sixth London signature store, Aesop Covent Garden was created in partnership with Parisian architects Ciguë, who took inspiration from four seemingly disparate but equally important design references: a Virginia Woolf quote, a Francis Bacon painting, a Henry Moore sculpture and an excerpt from Beauty and the Beast.

The brilliantly whitewashed walls reflect abundant natural light; exposed copper plumbing and light fixtures provide industrial accents. A floor of engraved green cement tiles pays homage to the area’s Italianate piazza—London’s first open square, constructed in the seventeenth century.

The colour is echoed in lush vegetation which climbs the walls from an interior window box, complementing the neighbouring gardens of Saint Paul’s Church.
