L’Occitane en Provence & Earth Element: Exploration of Aesthetic Sustainability
L’Occitane en Provence’s exploration into upcycling solutions, led to a simple, yet critical question:
Why do we dispose of some things, while others are kept?
Arriving at the conclusion that the longevity of an object is more than serving a practical function until its wear and tear; unless the things that we interact with, provide us aesthetic nourishment, we are unwilling to keep and sustain them.
Consequently, the end product must also be aesthetically sustainable in order for an upcycle solution to become truly sustainable.
With this aligned philosophy, a collaboration was born between L’Occitane en Provence & Earth Element.
We have conducted a series of experiments, using recycled beauty bottles collected from our customers in Hong Kong. Through craftmanship including injection molding and terrazzo crafting, we have handcrafted store displays and corporate gifts. These multidimensional attempts, infused with aesthetic design, have revealed the infinite possibilities of upcycling and reducing waste.
L’Occitane en Provence Partners Again with Local Art Studio
Earth Element for a Upcycled Terrazzo Workshop
How can recycled materials be beautifully transformed into sustainable design? This is the exciting idea behind the collaboration between L’Occitane en Provence and Earth Element.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll go through every step—from choosing and mixing materials, pouring the mold, to hand-polishing your terrazzo piece in water. When you unmold your creation, you’ll have a unique terrazzo artwork made with fragments of empty beauty bottles collected from L’Occitane customers in Hong Kong.
Whether you’re curious about upcycling techniques or just want to create a special piece with your own hands, we invite you to join us in supporting local recycled art and making a positive impact on the world.
