To walk along the Thanet coast is to witness a profound environmental paradox. At a glance, it is a landscape of striking natural beauty; look closer, and the shoreline is flecked with the synthetic remnants of modern life. For over thirty years, this boundary between the natural and the manufactured has been the sourcing ground for local artist Steve McPherson.
Forest of the Senses is an immersive sculptural installation that explores how art can reconnect us with the full spectrum of human perception through an experience engaging all five senses. The project invites visitors to move through a contemporary forest environment where sight, touch, sound, scent, and taste combine to create a deeply embodied encounter with nature.
We made a short film to celebrate our Seaweed Solar Protect SPF 50+ Set in a hut on our local beach, our protagonist moves through the day selling SPF serum, foraging seaweed between tides.
Nature’s blueprint. Humans draft. What if architecture didn’t just exist in nature, but behaved like it? This project by @aiye.bioarquitetura explores biomimicry, biophilic design and regenerative architecture, treating buildings as living systems rather than static structures.
Marie Tharp is one of the most influential scientists you may never have heard of. Her work fundamentally changed how we understand the structure of the Earth’s oceans. In the mid-20th century, when women were rarely allowed on research ships, Tharp analysed thousands of sonar readings from the ocean floor.
Our approach to materials is grounded in responsibility and respect for resources. As part of this commitment, our perfume lids are crafted using surplus wood from the studio of Sebastian Cox. Giving new purpose to what would otherwise be considered waste.
Installed on the 15th floor of London’s iconic brutalist landmark, 372.5~River Thames unfolds as a quiet meditation on motion, time, and planetary rhythm. Created by Irish artist Kerrie O'Leary, the kinetic sculpture translates live tidal data from the River Thames into a choreography of weights, pulleys, and motorised movement
The Will to Synchronize is a collaborative arrangement in three acts—objects made from vocal recordings, choreographed performance, and installation—that query the nexus, control, and evolution of relationships as they move into the state-regulated bubble of online space.
The PhotoSynthetica Collection is conceived and produced by ecoLogicStudio and the PhotoSynthetica Consortium, a bio-design innovation platform developed by ecoLogicStudio in collaboration with academic partners, the Urban Morphogenesis Lab at UCL London and the Synthetic Landscape Lab at the University of Innsbruck.
We are always drawn to practices that see beauty in process, where transformation is not hurried but allowed to unfold at nature's pace. The work of Chiel Lubbers represents a compelling intersection of biology, craft, and material innovation.
A radical fusion of science, craft and activism, ALWAKIA by Elie Al-Marji explores new ways of thinking about protection and solidarity. At its core is a biofabricated material inspired by mother-of-pearl, grown with bacteria to form lightweight, impact-resistant armour.
A conversation with Alana O'Flynn from Pentland Brands, Speedo, in November 2023 opened the door to a partnership between Speedo and Dulcie. What started as an exploratory discussion quickly became something much more exciting: an opportunity to completely reimagine performance skincare. Our idea was simple: what if we could replace petroleum jelly with something that does not harm the environment or compromise skin health?
