Skincare products at Aesop‘s latest store in Paris are displayed on 427 steel caps that would normally be used in the city’s plumbing network.

Designed by Parisian studio Ciguë, the shop is located in the winding streets of the historically aristocratic Le Marais district.

The wall-mounted dishes are filled with clear resin to form a flat surface and finished in varying degrees of blackened, rusted and stripped steel. Larger plumbing caps create basins in the polished concrete counters.

The cast iron spotlights, steel window frames and plant pots in the courtyard beyond were all custom-designed by Ciguë.
