Welcome to our portfolio of stories, projects and collaborations.
Each project is a testament to the power of collaboration and the beauty of interdisciplinary thinking.
We hope you will enjoy!
We started our conversations in 2022 about how a physical, tangible art piece made in ceramic could ground an abstract smell experience and create an atmospheric realm.
We invited Klara Lilja to explore a curation of our fragrance archive in our studio. From pure intuition, she chose a profile, and from then on, her process began. Months later, we visited her atelier and experienced for the first time a beautiful sculpture drenched in just one green glaze—a colour she envisioned when she smelled our fragrance creation for the first time.
The art piece is filled with details formed by her hand. At the top of the sculpture is an open and porous detail—specifically made for the fragrance to drop and diffuse, spreading the smell through natural evaporation. It brings to life images of how a flower attracts insects with its colourful appearance and smell, allowing for an essential transaction between the flower and the insect—spreading pollen to propagate.
The art piece is directly connected to the smell it arose from.
The fragrance's name is Vascular Cambium, and it adds an almost real-time experience to a sculptural flower that has never existed before.
Together with visual artist Claus Troelsgaard, we interpreted the atmospheric realm surrounding the collaborative art piece. We created a fictional space where the contrasts of the synthetic understanding of nature and the handmade sculptural piece and gesture float together in a fluid, lonesome void.
