AESOP
Aesop's Parisian design team channeled the rebellious spirit of the Meatpacking District for their latest NYC location at 60 Gansevoort Street. Known for its edgy art scene, the Meatpacking District became the perfect canvas for Aesop's unconventional concept: a store resembling a skateboard park.
This isn't your average retail space. Aesop translates artistic expression into the store's very design. The entire ceiling morphs into an ever-changing art gallery, with the opening exhibit featuring the works of Parisian photographer Romain Laprade.
Continuing the raw, industrial vibe that echoes the Meatpacking District's past, the millwork and floors are crafted entirely from plywood. This creates a sense of authenticity and complements the artistic energy that flows throughout the space.

VALENTINO
We're big fans of pop-ups, and even bigger fans of bringing luxury brands to life in unique locations. That's why we were thrilled to partner with Valentino's talented Visual Merchandising team for their whimsical Hamptons pop-up store.
Located on the iconic Main Street in East Hampton, the pop-up transformed the former Tiffany & Co. space. To make this retail magic happen quickly, we provided Valentino with a comprehensive existing conditions survey of the space, allowing them to hit the ground running with their creative vision.
But our role went beyond the initial assessment. We streamlined the permitting process and secured all necessary approvals from the town of East Hampton, ensuring a smooth and efficient build-out. The result? A stunning pop-up that was up and running in just six weeks!
