In reminiscence, radiance.
An architectural emblem of the search for modernity in the 1970s, the opening of Square One mall in 1973 helped to establish the city of Mississauga. It is this sense of optimism, revealed through functional yet striking design features, which Aesop Square One seeks to emulate.
Visitors are greeted by a curved glass façade, framed by lensed tiles that gently diffuse light and distort the geometry within. A vibrant orange backdrop further evokes the aesthetic codes of the period and the aeronautical activity that helped propel the city’s growth. Rendered in a padded ripstop fabric, the finish recalls the padding from an aircraft cabin, or the lining of a flight jacket.
The design incorporates further fanciful flights into the history of the local area. Patterned brick flooring references the old farmhouses that once dotted the surrounding landscape, while lacquered steel shelves make the most of the interlocking parts of folded metal used throughout the aviation industry.
A travertine basin sits to the side of the space, bordering a verdant internal garden. Here customers have the opportunity to experience skin, hair and body care formulations first-hand—and discuss those best suited to their individual needs with the store's trained consultants.
