Everything in this LA store was built with repurposed cardboard rolls

Looks like some swanky LA shops are swapping glitz for green. <a href="http://www.aesop.com/">Aesop</a>, a popular skin care company, has just unveiled a new store completely built with repurposed cylindrical <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/cardboard-tubes/">cardboard tubes</a>. Inspired by the stripped fabric bolts discarded by nearby costume shops and fashion houses, designers <a href="http://brooksscarpa.com/">Brooks + Scarpa</a> 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 from the store.

Before installation, they bolts were coated with a special flame-retardant coating 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.

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.

Everything in the store is made out of the recycled tubes, including paper display shelving, door jambs, countertops, cabinets, and a custom light fixture.

The entire store was built using the repurposed cardboard tubes.

The store's design is in line with the skin care brand's message of natural simplicity.
