An olfactory experience during the London Design Festival 2013
“The Perfume Sir exhibition did what DesignMarketo does best — challenging the status quo of design with beautiful results.”— Dan Rubinstein, New-York
For this year’s Design Festival, DesignMarketo creates a confluence of olfactory objects, foods, beverages, and events based on the humble spice, pepper. Perfume, sir? is a sensorial exhibition exploring the diverse attributes of this ubiquitous spice.
‘Why pepper? Because it’s the spice of all spices, widely used in perfumery, and we wanted pepper to finally get what it deserves: the limelight.’
DesignMarketo has invited eight international designers to create a work informed by pepper. Perfume, Sir? exhibits this collection of limited edition design products, host an installation and a series of dinners and workshops, all using the scent, history, and form of pepper as the inspiration.
