Built in 1819 by architect John Nash, Regent Street was originally distinguished by neoclassical colonnades and formally composed façades. Despite some redevelopment at the turn of the twentieth century, to this day the streetscape retains the grandeur of Nash’s original vision. Created by the brand’s in-house Design team, Aesop Regent Street echoes this two-hundred-year history with exaggerated gestures that conjure a feeling of institutional decorum.
Leaving the agitation of the street, visitors are engulfed in a symmetrical space of august proportions, designed to enrich one’s exploration of everything Aesop. In the principal chamber, an oversized, stately basin suggests the water fountains of Regency architecture, while the vaulted ceiling recalls the cupolas of classical design.
