Aesop and pioneering materials studio OTHER MATTER have created four installations throughout the city centre that explore the possibilities of a post-petrochemical world, imagining a better, more sustainable future for the retail industry.
Melburnians are invited to embark on a self-guided expedition throughout Aesop city stores, beginning at Flinders Lane, then moving through Collins Street and David Jones Bourke Street before concluding at QV, where an interactive encounter awaits.
Due to high demand, the complimentary gift has now been exhausted. However, the exhibition continues. Aesop and OTHER MATTER invite you to discover the material possibilities of a post-petrochemical world at Aesop Flinders Lane, Collins Street, David Jones Bourke Street and QV this Melbourne Design Week.”
Separately, on Saturday 17 May, guests can partake in a guided tour led by OTHER MATTER Founder, Jessie French. Participants will gain a deeper insight into the installations and hear Jessie explain the basis of her collaboration with Aesop — each one echoing the 2025 Melbourne Design Week theme: Heal, replenish, and enable life.
