Festive Gift Ideas: ‘Futurist Assembly’ kits from Aēsop
updated the 7 October 2015 à 00:07
Out of present ideas for the upcoming holidays? Aēsop art-inspired seasonal gift kits are the novelty you’ve been looking for!
What was the best seasonal gift you have received last year? Was it the typical business-flavoured set of cufflinks? Or was it perhaps the old-fashioned pair of humorous socks? Since we all had our fair share of unwrapping less than pleasantly received gifts, why not break out of the rut, take the initiative and start a trend of interesting and novelty gifts?
Aēsop is now offering six gift sets, inspired by the Italian Futurist movement and a special Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Kit that will guarantee to add some flair to the stale gift-giving routine.
The Australian-born skin, hair and beauty manufacturer Aēsop is renowned for offering a wide range of beauty products that are formulated using a combination of high quality botanical ingredients and that are not tested on animals.
The “Futurist Assembly” kits are contained inside sleek arty boxes, with typography and words evocative of the Futurist movement which started in Europe in the early 1900s. The movement spurred a wave of interest into the machine age and inundated society in areas spanning from painting and architecture, to literature and music and which modernised Italian culture in entirety.
What can we Expect?
Inside the innovative container, we find a set of Aēsop products ranging from men grooming essentials, to body care and full-sized products. What we can expect from the gift kits is a translation of the staples of Futurism into sensory beauty remedies: Agility (Sculpture), Alacrity (Theatre), Intensity (Painting), Potency (Architecture), Sonority (Music) and Tactility (Gastronomy).
“We declare that the splendour of the world has been enriched by a new beauty” – Filippo Tommaso Marinetti (founder of the Italian Futurist Movement)
‘A Futurist Assembly’ kits (approx. USD65 – USD160) are available starting this month at all Aēsop stockists worldwide.
