Aesop Seochon Store is a minimal interior located in Seoul, South Korea, designed by Samuso Hyojadong. Taking inspiration from the Soswaewon garden of the Damyang region, an epitome of sixteenth-century beauty and serenity, the designers set forth to create an experience where the past meets the present in a graceful convergence. Emphasizing a thoughtful approach to the use of materials, the design team at Samuso has carefully selected elements that embody their purest forms, allowing them to resonate individually, devoid of excessive human manipulation. This conscious choice in materiality not only highlights the intrinsic qualities of each element but also brings forth a tapestry of textures that invite visitors to connect on a deeper level. The defining characteristic of this project, however, lies in its deliberate attempt to blur the lines between the external and internal realms. As one steps into the store, it becomes increasingly evident that a careful orchestration of space has taken place, offering a seamless transition between the outdoor serenity and indoor refinement. This fluid movement between spaces alludes to a broader narrative where the natural and the crafted coalesce to offer a tranquil retreat amidst the bustling urban backdrop.
