When it comes to unique and strong build-outs, the folks at apothecary Aesop does it better than almost anyone. Their latest installation inside I.T. Hysan in Hong Kong was locally designed by Cheungvogl Architects. The installation features more than 800 resin boxes arranged on steel rods enclosed inside a translucent fabric. The unique veiled is more than likely not done justice through images. The installation will become permanent on their first floor display shortly. tip: designboom

Aesop have opened another store in Japan, this time in Ginza. The interior uses red bricks to reflect the look of the street the store’s on. Formerly a shoe store, this sense of heritage apparently works well with Aesop’s DNA. We have to admit, we have absolutely no idea what brands are on about when they talk about DNA and the like, but the store looks like. See more after the leap. (Think Silly)

Supernews brings us looks at the new Aesop flagshop in Nolita. With an interior focused on the exploration of newspaper in construction (”reclaimed copies of The New York Times have been used as a building material”), the shop looks to pay homage to the city’s history in print and writing. They look to also be screening some Criterion titles inside the shop. Find the new Aesop Shop at 232 Elizabeth St in New York City.

This one has hit the inbox hard today. Even friends with no association to the industry have reminded me of the new Aesop shop in Paris’ Marais area. The new shop, with it’s minimal finishing and decor is a sight to be seen. More than 400 dishes adorn the walls of the shop; each is used to “stand” bottles and jars of Aesop’s collection of skin, hair and body products. Find them at 64 rue Vieille du Temple.

Aesop knows build-outs (we’ve covered them in the past). Now Paris looks to get the treatment. “The Australian cosmetics brand opened another striking venue, this time a pop-up store + detox beauty bar at the Merci concept store in Paris. designed by Melburnian architect Rodney Eggleston, who has designed quite a few of the brand’s stores, this space is very much a reflection of his work, incorporating playful repetitions and renditions of regular objects. location: 111 Boulevard Beaumarchais.

A.P.C. gets a helping hand from Aesop on developing a “wash.” The “Fine Fabric Car” formulation from Aesop looks to treat those delicates in the A.P.C. line-up. As Dazed tell it, “The Fine Fabric Care is a cleanser designed specifically for handwashing delicate garments. Formulated by Aesop chemists, it contains extracts of Pettigrain, Lemon and Cedarwood. Fine Fabric Care is made with the quality ingredients and customary care Aesop uses when making skin, hair and body products.”

Look for it in A.P.C and Aesop shops in the latter half of 2010.

Since their launch in 1987, Aesop has been producing “botanically based skin, hair, and body products for men and women.” The line, which began in Australia, has grown well into the European markets and beyond. Their latest flagship store, returns them to their Aussie roots with a store in Armadale. The shop, designed, “Paphitis in conjunction with Melbourne architect Ryan Russell,” makes use of light, colour and texture in rounding out the space. (yatzer)
