Aside from their exquisite products, Cyril Marsollier from Aesop’s in-house design team sure does know how to draw inspiration from and elevate a non-descript mall storefront. Finding inspiration in I.M. Pei’s work and Brian Ulrich’s photographs of shopping centers, parking lots and casinos- where monolithic forms become vast sculptural elements- Aesop created a unique presence in this Long Island, NY mall. Utilizing the curved nature of the storefront, speckled penny tiles create a soft, uniform surface that invites passers-by without immediately revealing the interior experience.
