步入Aesop在泰国曼谷通罗区开设的首家独立门店，首先迎面而来的是一种被精选木材和静谧树荫所环绕的温馨氛围，这一独特体验在迷人的通罗街区中显得尤为突出。

A sense of being cocooned in timber and cool shadows is the first impression on entering Aesop’s first standalone store in Thailand, in the charmingly cool Bangkok neighbourhood of Thonglor.

Aesop品牌以选址精准而闻名，而在曼谷，它选中了兼具现代感和传统泰国风情的通罗区作为落地点。在这里，画廊、酒吧、咖啡馆和独立店铺与强大的本地社区共存。清迈工作室Sher Maker的创始人Thongchai Chansamak和Patcharada Inplang在构思和设计这一门店时，借鉴了周边地区的建筑特色和泰国各省份的文化特色。

The brand is known for picking its neighbourhoods well, and in Bangkok the drawcard was Thonglor’s mix of modernity and traditional Thai charm. Galleries, bars and cafes and independent stores exist within a robust local community, and the founders of Chiang Mai-based studio Sher Maker, Thongchai Chansamak and Patcharada Inplang, looked to the vernacular of the surrounding neighbourhood and further out to Thailand’s provinces in conceiving the concept and design.

Aesop品牌秉持着“以最少的材料达到最大的效果”的原则，该门店的内部设计采用了单一材质——回收柚木，这些柚木来源于建筑业主的个人收藏或附近地区。背景墙则采用了该地区常见的带有纹理的白色石膏，两者相得益彰。

Following Aesop’s principle of achieving the maximum effect with the minimum materials, the mono-material interiors are defined by reclaimed teak — from the personal collection of the building’s owner or sourced from nearby districts — backgrounded by the textured white plaster common to the area.

“木材是设计不可或缺的一部分，我们诚实地使用了它。所有的元素都以合理的方式组合，使其发挥家具的实用功能，而非仅仅作为装饰，”Inplang说道。“店铺中央的洗手台也采用了泰国花岗岩，这是泰国人日常使用的廉价石材。我们明确希望尽可能少地进口材料，并尽可能多地使用当地材料和本地熟练工人。

‘The wood is an integral part of the design, and we used it in an honest way. All the elements are used in a rational system to function as furniture rather than decoration,’ says Inplang. ‘The sink in the centre of the store also uses Thai granite, the cheap, everyday stone used by Thais. We had a clear intention to import as little as possible and to use local materials and local skilled labour as much as we could.’

与Aesop在全球各地的门店一脉相承，这里同样展现了一种现代家居的特质与美学，这种特质在Fa-Lhai Room中得到了具象化的体现。Fa-Lhai Room是一座私密的木质亭子，其设计理念源于泰国北部的传统住宅类型。此外，店铺中央的四部分洗手台设计也体现了对居家生活的致敬，每个花岗岩洗手盆都灵感自kraba-din（传统土制火坑），后者在当地村落中是社区聚会的中心。

As with Aesop stores the world over, there’s a contemporary domestic quality and aesthetic, here realised literally in the Fa-Lhai Room, a secluded timber pavilion inspired by the residential typology of Northern Thailand. Another nod to domestic life is the store’s central four-part sink, each granite basin inspired by a kraba-din, the traditional earthen fire pit that is the centre of communal gatherings in local villages.

工艺和技术也是设计的核心，传统木工技艺被用于制作木柱和长凳。

横梁、接缝和表面的手工制作令人赏心悦目，触感更佳。

Craft and technique are also central to the design, with traditional joinery used to create the timber posts and benches. The handwork of the beams, joint and surfaces are satisfying to look at and even better to touch.
