CONCEPT SUMMARY
TENET seizes the opportunity to bring premium fashion to an underserved men’s market in the celebrated skiing and shopping town of Aspen, Colorado. Offering both established and emerging labels, founders Jesse Warren and Josh Warren set out to open a lifestyle pop-up store for the high season. TENET’s doors are now open and will bring an elevated aesthetic to Aspen through mid-April.

Designed and built out by owners and friends, the shop features 14-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls and whitewashed wood floors. Some of the store’s highlights include a white birch which is suspended horizontally from the ceiling along the center of the
store, a one-off burlap wrapped chandelier, mirrors framed with salvaged wooden banisters from Brooklyn and custom clothing racks made from industrial copper piping with cast brass fittings.
