Tokyo-based architect Kengo Kuma is tasked with creating an elegant aesthetic for a range of luxury hotel products. The client — a hospitality establishment that goes by the name of 'Aman,' seeks to elevate its business by offering its guests access to luxe skincare in premium packaging. This is the hotel's first venture into this market.
Kengo Kumo was inspired by nature and intended to communicate an organic feeling with form. As a result, the luxury hotel products boast a curvaceous body, as well as a color and texture palette that is reminiscent of wood. Moreover, the quality that the range exudes is one that is tied to tranquility and calmness.
Aman's range consisted of a total of 30 products — from face creams and body oils to milk baths and face masks.
