Unfolding in five acts, our latest installation offers a glimpse into the imagined daily life of an Aesop aficionado, opening the doors to a world of unconventional spaces, transportive aromas and curious corridors.
For seven weeks, Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann in Paris is home to Five Rooms, a theatrical set of nonconformist architecture. In keeping with our store design practices, the installation has been constructed in part from repurposed products and packaging: bars of soap become porcelain tiles, cardboard boxes serve as structural materials, and pages from the Aesop Book make for intriguing wallpaper.
Throughout the installation, various experiences unfold, from express skin care consultations amid the soap-lined walls of the Bathroom to intricately choreographed hand-and-arm massages in the comfort of the Living Room’s Capsule of Respite—available at select times.
‘Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.’
