What does a post-petrochemical world look like?

Aesop and OTHER MATTER have partnered to activate Aesop stores across Australia and New Zealand for two significant skincare campaigns in 2024, with storefront activations showcasing jar and bottle-shaped applications and window decals of Jessie French’s algae works. This world first retail application of algae-based bioplastic, removing petrochemical PVC materials from the campaign cycle, has the potential to be rolled out globally as an industry game changer. This conversation at Aesop Collins Street with French will speak to Aesop’s and her shared commitment to sustainability and explore this collaboration as well as the designer’s practice at large.
