Despite its modest size, especially from an Asian perspective, the city of Macau boasts not one, but two Aesop stores. Both outposts are situated at a glitzy casino resort complex, and predominantly serve the discerning clientele that’s frolicking around there. As of late, a fully revamped Aesop store was unveiled at The Venetian. Situated in a clearly demarcated corner of the shopping arcade on the third floor, between the Canal Grande and the bridge, the setting was created by Aesop‘s in-house design team. The chosen aesthetic aims to reflect the surrounding Venetian cityscape and its canals that the resort has adopted, featuring polished steel paneling on the perimeters, and green marble tiles inside, covering backlit shelving and desk tops. Shelving are closed by sliding doors of perforated stainless steel. The renewed Aesop store carries the brand’s full range of skin, face and body products.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
