Snøhetta creates curving wooden amphitheatre for Aesop's Düsseldorf store

护肤品牌Aesop在杜塞尔多夫的第一家店的室内由Snøhetta设计。为了营造一种圆形剧场的感觉，手工制作的花旗松货架沿曲线环绕了整个室内。

Shelving crafted from Douglas fir curves around the interior of skincare brand Aesop's first Düsseldorf store, which Snøhetta designed to feel like an amphitheatre.

该Aesop店位于杜塞尔多夫热闹非凡的Grabenstraße广场。

The Aesop store is located on Grabenstraße, a plaza in Düsseldorf where markets and fairs often take place.

为了表达该广场作为公共空间的功能，Snøhetta设计了一个让人联想到喷泉的混凝土水池，来作为店铺的亮点。

Aiming to reflect the plaza's use as a public space, Snøhetta chose a concrete sink reminiscent of a fountain as the shop's centrepiece.

“该设计微妙地模糊了室内外的界限，”建筑师们说，“该广场隐性拓展的特性被一个大体量混凝土加强，水池让人联想起一个当地人可能经常聚集的喷泉。”

"The design subtly blurs distinctions between interior and exterior," said the architects. "This implicit extension of the plaza is amplified by a monolithic concrete sink, reminiscent of a fountain around which locals might regularly gather."

他们还重新解释了这个作为“圆形剧场”的公共场所，使用亮色花旗松手工制成的层叠式货架来创造一个环绕房间边缘的月牙形。Aesop的产品在这些曲线形货架上排列，仿佛一群人坐在露天剧场里一样。

They then reinterpreted the communal location as an amphitheatre, using tiered shelving crafted from light-coloured Douglas fir to create a crescent shape around the edge of the room.
Aesop's products are arrayed upon the curving shelves, just as people would be seated on the tiers of an open-air theatre.

店铺外有两个方形木椅，每个木椅中间有一个种植箱，这样游客可以坐在木椅上观察广场上熙熙攘攘的人群。

Aesop由Dennis Paphitis于澳大利亚创建，Dennis Paphitis在2012年的采访中谈到他不喜欢创造一个没有灵魂的产业链。

Outside, two square-shaped timber benches with planter boxes in the middle allow visitors to sit and observe the hustle and bustle of the location.
Aesop was founded in Australia by Dennis Paphitis, who spoke about how he "didn't want to create a soulless chain" during an interview with Dezeen in 2012.

Grabenstraße广场的Aesop店是德国第二个由Snøhetta设计的店面，也是该公司世界范围内第五个跨国项目。其他一些由这些在纽约或者奥斯陆的建筑师设计的Aesop店包括新加坡的一个位于肉豆蔻种植园的空间，和该公司在挪威的第一个项目，该项目布满了交叉穹顶的天花板。

Aesop Grabenstraße is the second Snøhetta-designed store in Germany, and the fifth outpost by the firm worldwide.
Other Aesop stores by the New York and Oslo-based architects include aspace based on a nutmeg plantation in Singapore and the brand's first outpost in Norway, which features a ceiling of intersecting domes.
