Lacoste x Make A Scene! Bali: A Biosculptural Tribute to Nature

This summer, Lacoste has embarked on a bold creative venture. For a special event in Bali, the brand partnered with Leaf Creative Studio, also known as Make A Scene! Bali, to construct an awe-inspiring version of the beloved crocodile logo—crafted wholly from leaves.

🌿 The Collaboration: Brand Meets Botanical Artistry

Make A Scene! Bali, known for immersive sculptural installations rooted in sustainability and Balinese craftsmanship, was commissioned to recreate Lacoste’s famed crocodile logo using natural foliage. The result: a monumental leaf sculpture, envisioned as both a tribute to the brand’s heritage and a celebration of eco-conscious artistry  . Their body of work blends cultural storytelling with environmental aesthetics, making them the ideal creative partner for Lacoste’s green initiative ().

🍃 Inside the Sculpture: Craftsmanship and Impact

Organic Materials: Every scale of the crocodile—from jaw to tail—was handcrafted using local leaves and botanical materials, anchored on a structural base that held form while allowing natural movement.

• Symbolic Scale: While media reports haven’t confirmed dimensions, similar sculptures in past Lacoste campaigns (like the 8 m × 3 m crocheted “Play Big” croc) suggest an impressive, immersive scale that commands attention  .
• Visual Poetry: Placed amid lush Balinese gardens, the green-on-green sculpture provided a vivid, sensory experience—bringing together fashion, nature, and local craftsmanship.

🎨 Why It Matters: Brand Values in Living Art

Sustainable Statement: By using leaves instead of synthetic materials, Lacoste aligned the event with eco-friendly art, reinforcing its Durable Elegance ethos and broader sustainability narrative  .

• Cultural Fusion: Collaboration with a Bali-based studio grounded the campaign in local artistic traditions, signaling a conscious move towards regional authenticity in global branding.
• Experiential Engagement: Rather than static visuals, the leaf sculpture invited guests to experience the Lacoste identity in real-time—through sight, touch, and environment.
