An exploration of Other Matter's non-petrochemical surface set in an interior space. Presented as surface film on a glass panel, this monochromatic colouring is paired harmoniously with a stainless steel shelf.

Other Matter is a research-led design studio interested in materials and sustainable futures. Founded by artist Jessie French, the studio explores the aesthetic and ecological potential of renewable, non-petrochemical polymers.
With a practice grounded in experimentation and a commitment to environmental responsibility, Other Matter reimagines material production for interior architecture as well as temporary application in retail, events and exhibition design. The studio operates as both a platform for inquiry and a catalyst for change – challenging entrenched systems of consumption through tangible, regenerative alternatives.
In 2024, Other Matter transformed its research into action with development of a world-first sustainable alternative to traditional PVC signage. In 2025, the product launched as OM Signage Film – offering a viable solution to one of design’s most persistent environmental challenges.

Joseph Gardner is the 2025 Visionaries curator – presenting DONE/UNDONE: an exhibition of 50+ artists, and one of Craft’s largest exhibitions to date – featuring artists working across medium, scale and practice, representing exceptional Australian talent.
DONE/UNDONE explores the creative process as a space of constant negotiation – a series of decisions to build, erase, repeat, or let be. It’s about that intuitive moment when a maker chooses to pause, to push further, or to dismantle entirely. These are the choices that define the rhythm of making – choices familiar to artists, designers, and creators across disciplines.
Joseph Gardner is the Style Editor at Vogue Living, with a decade of experience in publishing and styling, and the founder of Sydney-based gallery, Studio Gardner.
