Aesop has a longstanding commitment to supporting the
work of new and emerging designers. In this spirit, we are
displaying Gareth Neal’s furniture in both our Mount Street
and Westbourne Grove stores as part of the London Design
Festival.
Gareth graduated from Buckinghamshire College in 1996
with honours in Furniture Design and Craftsmanship. He
operates from his Dalston studio, and also teaches design
at Staffordshire University. Gareth’s work celebrates the
history of his craft and imbues it with a contemporary
expression, combining traditional techniques and forms
with modern technology to create his distinctive furniture.
His works have been exhibited extensively in institutions
including Contemporary Applied Arts, Saatchi Gallery, the
Victoria and Albert Museum, the Birmingham Museum of
Art and Sotheby’s in New York and London. The installation
of Gareth’s furniture during London Design Festival will
offer visitors the opportunity to engage with his intelligent
and innovative approach to design.
Aesop values all human endeavours undertaken with
intellectual rigour, vision, and a nod to the whimsical. We
offer our superlative skin, hair and body products across
the globe, ensuring that both our range and retail
environments meet the highest standards. We advocate
the use of our products as part of a balanced life that
includes a healthy diet, sensible exercise, and a regular
intake of good design.
