Aman’s New Skincare Range Inspired by Japanese Porcelain
©AMAN
To mark its 30th birthday, luxury hotel-spa Aman is launching a skincare range. The containers are designed by none other than celebrated Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.
The range consists of thirty products, all made from natural ingredients (Aman’s respect for nature is its trademark, and it is commended for the way its resorts blend into the landscape of their locations). The matte black pots designed by Kengo Kuma, in imitation wood, take inspiration from this spirit and borrow their delicate shape from that of Japanese porcelain. All are recyclable and contain serums, oils, creams and a collection of bath and shower products.
The contents are equally luxurious: the products, made in Britain, are sandalwood-scented and made from plants (Bhutanese sea buckthorn, Balinese vetiver and Moroccan argan) gathered in small quantities from the various Aman sites around the world.
