A Signage Symphony in Metal and Symmetry
Aesop
The metal logo sign at Aesop Utama is a signature element, a declaration of design intent that greets every visitor. Cast from the same mold as the rest of the store's industrial theme, it is both a directional sign and a piece of modern art. The corrugated tin’s reinvention into this sign represents a bridge between the traditional and the avant-garde, a statement that signs are not just informative but integral to the overall design language of a space. It’s a sign of the times, where every component in retail, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, is an opportunity for innovation and expression.
