March Studio has been known to create some incredibly captivating displays for Aesop. Before this installation, the Melbourne-based company piled up boxes in nets and strung coconut husks. This time the team added [shelves of various sizes and lengths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelf-life) all over the walls for the Aesop Saint-Honore store. The way the [ash timber is stacked and layered](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-studios-flagship-stores) shows a perfectly executed vision that adds to the earthy aesthetic of the store. According to Dezeen, 3,500 planks of wood were used in this installation! March Studio continues to put its creative talent to good use by consistently designing inspiring displays. It's no wonder that Aesop has collaborated with the brand multiple times. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Tactile Retail Display:** Innovative use of textures and materials in store design can create immersive and engaging customer experiences. - **Artful Store Design:** Integrating art and aesthetics into retail spaces can elevate brand identity and customer engagement. - **Woodworking Design Trends:** Emphasizing natural, sustainable materials and artisanal craftsmanship can communicate authenticity and build brand loyalty. ### Where This Applies - **Retail Design:** Designers can incorporate tactile features and artful installations to create unique retail environments. - **Interior Design:** Retail spaces can benefit from creative collaborations with interior designers to create immersive and memorable customer experiences. - **Woodworking and Carpentry:** Innovative woodworking techniques and use of materials can create impressive and sustainable retail displays that showcase artisanal craftsmanship. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tactile Soap-Adorned London Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aesop-outlet.md) - [Dynamic Organic Store Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-manso.md) - [Sustainable Retail Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheep-inc-london.md) - [Demountable Wooden Retail Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/present-correct1.md) - [Sensorial Luxury Beauty Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aesop-flagship.md) - [Illuminating Collaborative Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aesop-and-bocci.md) - [Various Textural Homeware Boutiques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estilio.md) - [Traditional Pavilion Skincare Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samuso-hyojadong.md) - [Modular Retail Frameworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espacio-gdl-store.md)
