Young creatives rethink how we use soap

Two recent graduates of ECAL respond to our ever more hygiene-conscience world with new takes on standard soapRecent ECAL graduate Manon Novelli created Ephemeral Soap in an attempt to reduce the amount of waste created by the mini bottles of shower gel and shampoo found in hotels.

The project features a selection of soaps for various parts of the body that come in a plastic-free bamboo case and only last the length of one hand wash or shower. ‘Hotels generate a lot of waste, especially by offering small bottles of shower gel and solid soaps that are never really finished,’ says Novelli.

‘The challenge was to find an alternative to this and propose a sustainable set with soaps and shampoos that are for one use only, yet still surprising and pleasant to use.’ Fellow ECAL graduate Sarah Remy has reimagined the ritual of cleaning and self-care with Sōl. The stackable tower of containers is inspired by the Japanese skincare ritual of ‘layering’.

The result is a more considered approach to an everyday routine, while its elegant design, with a hand-blown glass base and bronze dome cast in a traditional bell foundry, makes it a welcome addition to any bathroom countertop. §
