Eugène Riconneaus introduces ER Ocean Recherche, Redesigning fashion material in a laboratory
On April 17th, for the official launch of ER Ocean Recherche, a first Press Release has been announced, sharing the result of five years of quiet research, now transitioned into material innovations and blue biotech. Indeed, our journey started long before this communication. And extraordinary journeys are rarely linear. They are made of dives, sudden turns, unexpected waves. Reflecting the experience of Eugène Riconneaus, who gradually traded his workshop for a lab, his brushes for stills, his canvases for vortex mixers, and his palette for petri dishes.
What fuelled this journey? Rather than waiting for beautiful, responsible and scalable alternatives to appear, this project set out to help shaping them. Innovation cannot be expected to be design-ready, if designers are not part of its origin.
“The job of designers has changed. I now design in microns: to think big, we need to start extra small.”
