Aesop Sendai PARCO 2 is a minimal Aesop store located in Sendai, Japan, designed by Torafu Architects. A series of vertical slats constructed of Japanese cedar serve both aesthetic and functional purposes by concealing the shelving hinges. In addition, the slats create depth and shadows, visually expanding the space. The concave and convex shelving creates purposeful asymmetry, while the central sink is constructed of steel.
