shinichiro ogata crafts tokyo aesop store with the theme of chaos within cosmos

with a growing portfolio of carefully designed stores around the world, shinichiro ogata of simplicity design studio is the latest architect to reflect skin-care brand aesop’s aesthetics into a space.

the branch based in tokyo, focuses on the bustling city’s interplay of opposites and boundaries.

using light and shadow, combined with past and present, the store’s configuration captures the essence of the japanese city along with the simple aesthetics of the skin-care company. designed with the concept of ‘cosmos within chaos’, this has been expressed through the idea of coexisting opposites manifested through the layering of soft and hard materials, such as zinc and traditional washi paper as well as the storefront’s mirrored glass that amplifies the intensity of the outer chaos.
