Change
NOW 2025
April 24th-26th, 2025
Paris, Grand Palais
At the iconic Grand Palais, during ChangeNOW 2025, ER Ocean Recherche had the opportunity to give life to a dialogue between art and science, joining forces for a more responsible world. It was a true privilege to unveil our materials in this historic venue, a symbol of innovation since the Universal Expo of 1900, and to contribute to its legacy.
In the Fashion area, we showcased our latest biomaterials, including our marine-based polymer Sei™, fiber SeiYarn™ and coated canvas SeiShell™, presented in a thoughtfully curated display, true to our aesthetic vision. Simultaneously, as part of the Art Programme, Eugène Riconneaus showcased two artworks inspired by the ocean, reflecting the nature’s transformation through human creativity.

Many visitors drawn to the Art Programme were inspired to explore our innovations in the Fashion area, and vice versa, highlighting the power of a unified narrative across disciplines. This interdisciplinary approach resonated strongly: we received significant interest from a diverse range of companies actively seeking solutions like ours – A clear signal of the urgency behind the next generation of sustainable materials. A convergence of purpose and opportunities, innovation and beauty.
