The team designed shelves and surfaces with naturally chamfered edges, just like in the old houses of Greece, Spain and Italy.
"We did a residential project for a family in Paris and the staircase was in traditional plaster," designer Hugo Haas told Dezeen. "I thought this finish would make a really beautiful concept for Aesop."
The shelves are loosely laid out in seven different zones, for displaying each of Aesop's product ranges, while the sink and countertop run along one wall.
The floor is covered with hexagonal green tiles that are engraved with geometric patterns. "We wanted something in contrast, to find a balance," said Haas.
This hexagonal motif is also picked up elsewhere, including on the perforations in the sink's plughole.

The undulating wooden slats that cover the rear wall and ceiling of the shop function as shelves for storing and displaying breads of different shapes and sizes.
A wooden chopping board spans the length of the bakery to create a countertop with integrated pockets for scales, knives, crumb-catchers and checkouts.
