Nez à Nez

Open video
Exhibition
2019

For MUDAC (Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts) Lausanne.

Nez is a museum exhibition that we designed about perfumery. Challenged with finding a way of showing fragrance in a museum environment, we created 6 rooms that present the perfumes using canny physical engagements; From fans that are lifted from the surface of tables, to vessels that release the perfume when the visitor pulls down on helium balloons; Each concept required the visitor to explore and interact with the installations in order to access the scent.

The installations were conceived to create an evolving experience for the museum visitor whilst not over baring the sensations of the perfumes. To supplement this idea we developed a palette consisting of very subtly tainted white colours that was designed to heighten sensorial perceptions.

Nez á Nez is in the permanent collection of the Musée de Design et d'Arts Appliqués Contemporains (Mudac), Switzerland, and has been exhibited at the Power Station of Art, China. The curation of the perfumes and the themes into which they were divided was a collaboration between MUDAC and olfactory magazine Nez.
