In the exciting cosmetic brand Aesop’s flagship Collins St Melbourne store, the Aesop creative team and Kerstin Thompson Architects incorporated a curtain made from Verona to evoke a refined old-world gentleman’s club.
Having a passion for the romance, textures and patinas in a hotel, Don Cameron and a group of creatives featured Verona in the rooms and public areas of Canberra’s Hotel Hotel, a new concept in boutique hotel design.
