Aesop & Other Matter: A Material Endeavour

  • Free

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.
