A multisensorial exploration of dermis and design at Salone del Mobile.Milano 2025<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As Sensory Patron of Salone del Mobile.Milano 2025<\/strong>, Aesop has created an enigmatic and replenishing experience within the walls and cloisters of the Chiesa del Carmine<\/strong>. From 8-13 April, visitors are invited to explore the intersection of architecture, culture and the senses.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the core of the installation sits The Second Skin<\/strong>\u2014a structure that pays homage to both the epidermis and the alluring entryways that are a signature of many Milanese buildings. Here, an entrance\u2014as threshold between exterior and interior\u2014becomes a metaphor for the skin.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its construction, Aesop\u2019s Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm<\/strong> is used as mortar for the panels that shroud the structure. These textured surfaces emanate Eleos\u2019s clove<\/strong>-based aroma, while mesmeric reflections of undulating water on the walls evoke the dewy surface of perspiring skin\u2014and the amplified sound of a single drop of water marks each passing second.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As guests proceed within, they are encouraged to engage with the structure through deep inhalation of its scent. Upon reaching the hidden inner sanctum, they discover a contemporary dance film about the art of bathing, created in collaboration with Nayoung Kim, a dancer of Tanztheater Wuppertal<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The complete experience involves a series of meditative interactions. In the cloister, a row of basins raised on plinths provide a (quite literally) elevated moment of hand care. While in the courtyard, guests can pause for reflection at a bespoke, 50-seat table<\/strong> by designer Sebastian Cox.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n

In qualit\u00e0 di Sensory Patron del Salone del Mobile.Milano 2025<\/strong>, Aesop ha creato un'esperienza enigmatica e rigenerante all'interno delle mura e dei chiostri della Chiesa del Carmine<\/strong>. Dall\u20198 al 13 aprile, i visitatori sono invitati a esplorare l\u2019intersezione tra architettura, cultura e sensi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al centro dell'installazione si trova The Second Skin<\/strong>\u2014una struttura che rende omaggio sia all'epidermide che agli affascinanti ingressi distintivi di molti edifici milanesi. Qui, un ingresso\u2014come soglia tra esterno e interno\u2014diventa una metafora della pelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per la sua costruzione, l\u2019Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm<\/strong> di Aesop viene utilizzato come malta per i pannelli che avvolgono la struttura. Queste superfici testurizzate emanano l\u2019aroma a base di chiodi di garofano di Eleos<\/strong>, mentre gli ipnotici riflessi dell'acqua increspata sulle pareti evocano la superficie umida della pelle che traspira\u2014e il suono amplificato di una singola goccia d'acqua segna il passare di ogni secondo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man mano che gli ospiti avanzano all\u2019interno sono incoraggiati a interagire con la struttura attraverso una profonda inalazione del suo profumo<\/strong>. Raggiunto il santuario nascosto, scoprono un film di danza contemporanea sull'arte del bagno, realizzato in collaborazione con Nayoung Kim<\/strong>, ballerina del Tanztheater Wuppertal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L'esperienza completa prevede una serie di interazioni meditative. Nel chiostro, una fila di lavabi sollevati su piedistalli offre un momento (letteralmente) elevato di cura delle mani. Mentre nel cortile, gli ospiti possono fermarsi a riflettere su un tavolo su misura da 50 posti<\/strong>, progettato dal designer Sebastian Cox.<\/p>\n","_it_post_name":"aesop-presenta-the-second-skin","_it_post_excerpt":"","_it_post_title":"Aesop presenta The Second Skin","_en_post_content":"\n\n\n
