Algae

From ocean to object. From function to feeling.
This is a concept Se Han developed to explore how a product like kelp can be positioned beyond the typical “superfood” space.

The idea was simple: take one of the most nutrient-dense natural ingredients and translate it into a brand world that feels as refined as it is grounded.

Because kelp brings real substance:
naturally rich in iodine, supporting thyroid function and metabolic balance
contains antioxidants like fucoxanthin, studied for anti-inflammatory and metabolic effects
includes alginate, which research links to gut health and satiety
provides minerals like calcium, magnesium and iron in a highly bioavailable form

Global demand for food and protein is rising: the United Nations projects the world population will reach about 9.7 billion by 2050, increasing pressure on sustainable protein supplies.

A meta-analysis of food-demand studies finds total global food demand is likely to grow 35–56% between 2010 and 2050, which is a major driver for alternative-protein development.

Algae are attracting attention because they are protein-dense and efficient to produce. Reviews of microalgae report that many species contain roughly 40–70% protein by dry weight (for example, common strains such as Spirulina and Chlorella often fall in the 40–70% range), making them comparable to or richer than many conventional sources on a per-dry-weight basis (Source: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
