Here 2,800 New York Times newspapers have been torn into 400,000 strips which were then stacked to create a soft, felt-like surface held within a continuous oak wrapper.  Just as oak is commonly used to store and age wine and spirits, so too will the newspaper age, turning a light tan, thus marking the passing of time.  In this way, the history of Aesop North America will be recorded within the very walls of this first store.
