Other Matter® is a research-led design studio founded by artist Jessie French. Working at the intersection of material innovation and sustainable futures, 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.

Other Matter acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung People of the Eastern Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded.
