Everything in this LA store was built with repurposed cardboard rolls

Looks like some swanky LA shops are swapping glitz for green. Aesop, a popular skin care company, has just unveiled a new store completely built with repurposed cylindrical cardboard tubes. Inspired by the stripped fabric bolts discarded by nearby costume shops and fashion houses, designers Brooks + Scarpa went with the unique material to best represent Aesop's natural, soothing aesthetic.

The designers repurposed the six-inch cylindrical cardboard tubes, which are made out of cross laminated engineered paper by a local manufacturer, as the principal building material for the store. The bolts are repurposed from the Los Angeles fashion district just two miles away. Before installation, they were coated with a special flame-retardant material to add durability and strength.

To build the walls, the tubes were placed in a vertical position to cover the entire layout of the store. From there, everything else was also made out of the recycled tubes, including paper display shelving, door jambs, countertops, cabinets, and a custom light fixture. The store is a resulting monochromatic, pared-back aesthetic is further enhanced by the three vintage porcelain sinks that were repurposed from a local salvage yard.
