Aesop University Place
The store used lots of supplied wood pieces as shelves on the walls. The supplied wood seems very high quality that a piece has numerous compressed layers. The walls are covered with felt which brings warm atmosphere with the free-installation of supplied wood shelves. The felt wall absorbs the sound that sets quiet space. The floor is made out of Terrazzo, which also gives warm yellowish feeling. It has uneven balance of chunks on concrete, and casted dark concrete floor right next the the terrazzo. The place had warmer feeling by additional lime oil burning scent.
NYU Bobst Library
Bobst has been rebuilt because of student’s suicide cases; therefore, the brass finished aluminium fences have been installed on the hall ways of the open space. The material has been chemically changed to have smooth brass texture. On the other hand, it had a interesting geometric shape marble floor. Walls are made of white with dark pattern marble. The exterior walls of the building is made out of red sand stone that contrast the interior materials. The exterior surface is rough, but the interior surface is smooth. In general, the marbles and the brass finished aluminium fences make a fascinating combination that provides luxurious atmosphere.
Feit
The Feit store’s interior is based with supplied wood, mirror, and LED lights. The interior seems like stack of supplied wood layers with cropped spaces, which become shelves for the shoes. The layers are fixed by steel bars. The mirror is behind each walls, and the LED lights are embedded to the cropped layer design. The design of the store is very well utilising the supplied wood.
