based on the principle ‘less is more’, designers michael bartenstein and fabienne hierzer have conceptualized aer. established in vienna in 2019, the new company is striving to eliminate single-use plastics and set new standards in the formulation and product design of home and personal care.

from kitchen cleaner to scented hand soap, all aer products come in reusable and recyclable containers. furthermore, the solid-form formulations come in biodegradable paper packaging only, enabling refills to truly eliminate single-use containers. customers can either order them once or sign-up for a recurring subscription, providing automatic supplies for the utmost convenience.

while customers benefit from a yet unseen sustainable product experience, several inefficiencies inherent in home and personal care become obsolete simultaneously through aer’s approach. existing home and personal care products often contain up to 80% of water, resulting in highly inefficient, environmentally harming and expensive supply chains. by providing sustainable formulations in solid, water-soluble form, the products completely eliminate this deficiency. with the addition of an aesthetically-pleasing design, aer is pushing forward to provide a truly environment-friendly option for home and personal care. 

 

aer products are now available for orders, with starter sets shipping for free.
