These screens, also doors, define the entry – complete with tester and display unit – and filter the light to provide a calm retreat from the arcade which, by contrast, is reflective and brightly illuminated. During business hours the screens fold back to present an open front that invites customers into the space. The design of Aesop Emporium achieves beauty through restraint.
