AESOP celebrates the Italian Futurist movement. One of the best crafted press events I have attended in a long time took place at the new AESOP store in Hollywood Road in September. As Aesop moves their followers more into the consumer engagement space with their stores, culture and lifestyle products, they also make great efforts to educate us on how innovation challenged those in the early 1900’s.

With the introduction of The Futurist Manifesto, written by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti , Aesop gave us an insight to the Futurist Assembly using music, taste, smell, touch and sight all culminating into their inspired six seasonal gift kits.

There is so much to communicate on this fascinating subject, that I can only urge the reader to go into any of the AESOP stores here in Hong Kong to not only see the seasonal gift kits, but allow the in-store team to explain how they have brought The Futurist Assembly into our lives, here in Hong Kong.

The lifestyles brands ongoing fascination with the arts has this year inspired six seasonal gift kits focused on the Italian Futurist movement of the early twentieth century – which aimed to thoroughly modernize Italian culture. In referencing the Futurists, Aesop celebrates their rebelliousness, inventiveness, and unabashed eccentricity.
