Two New Additions at One New Change: Open Doors to Unique Shopping Experiences
London, April 2025 – Two iconic brands, Aesop and John Henric, are set to elevate the retail experience at One New Change, introducing distinct concepts that blend design, sustainability, and style in the heart of Canada.
Nestled amidst the striking modern architecture of One New Change and just a stone’s throw from St. Paul’s Cathedral, Aesop’s new store offers a sensory retreat for overstimulated city dwellers. Designed to counteract the visual complexity and fast-paced energy of its surroundings, the store’s interior is a masterclass in simplicity and sustainability. In a nod to the principles of the circular economy, the store’s design repurposes materials from Aesop’s former Long Yard head office. Discarded office tables were deconstructed, resized, and transformed into shelves, a ceiling grid, and a central counter. Even the basin was salvaged from Aesop’s previous Selfridges counter, embodying the brand’s commitment to sustainability.
The result is a space that marries mid-century geometric simplicity with modern eco-consciousness, providing a calming environment for customers to explore Aesop’s renowned formulations. The store’s vibrant orange bulletin boards add a playful touch, inviting visitors to pause from their busy routines and immerse themselves in the aromas and textures of Aesop’s products.
Aesop’s One New Change store reflects the brand’s ethos of thoughtful design and sensory well-being, offering a restorative shopping experience for office workers and visitors alike.
