Aesop North Melbourne

Large copper-framed windows, abundant natural light and high original ceilings create a welcoming yet sophisticated environment. The dark, mottled concrete floor lends a pleasant weight to the dusky blush of the walls. The interior boasts three antique Viennese fountains—used for product demonstrations—and an old Silky Oak archiving drawer, both key inspirations for the atmosphere and design. The latter, originally the property of the Gallery of New South Wales, serves as a handsome counter and product display cabinet.
