  • Welcome to your Wednesday Store Design Inspiration – Aesop, Selfridges, London. Earlier this week, Aesop re-opened its beautifully redesigned counter in the heart of Selfridges’ beauty hall. The space is defined by an abundance of muted sage-green tiles, which cover the sink, counters, and shelving, creating a calming oasis amidst the store's vibrant energy. The curved edges of the fixtures add a softness to the design, while the minimal lighting ensures the products remain the focus. This thoughtful renovation reflects Aesop’s ongoing commitment to elevating retail through spaces that merge functionality with sensory-driven, innovative design. 📸 Images courtesy of Aesop #RetailDesign #StoreInspiration #InteriorInnovation #Aesop
