PSLab and Aesop have collaborated with Kerstin Thompson Architects on the lighting design of the newly opened Aesop store in the Melbourne Emporium, winner of the 2014 IDEA Award / Retail category.
The overall design of Aesop Emporium is distinguished by a singular use of native Australian spotted gum timber. The sustainably sourced hardwood ply creates an intimate, calm and immersive space. The warm hue of the timber combined to the warms of the lightings design compliments Aesop's displays.
PSLab used a combination of site specific lighting products modified to match the uniqueness of the space and highlight the tone of the store. Both LED projectors and the composite suspended light fixtures were developed as a solution to the space, providing mobility and purity to the store.
The projectors and shades of the decorative fixtures are all rotatable, insuring a flexibility of product display.
A custom solution of fitted supporting brackets was created to mount all fixtures in the tailored made perforated wooden ceiling, giving the space a clear, clean finish.
