Perfume as a medium for transcendence is the centre piece of the design. Arches with oval cut-outs structure the space, thus referencing the representation of transcendence in classic art. The room is designed in a dark blue, commenting to the invisibility of scents. A mirror, tinted in terracotta colours on the back wall is increasing the spatial experience and representing the application of perfume on the bare skin.
The two community tables in the centre take up the dark blue as well as the terracotta colours in a terrazzo, unifying all conceptual aspects.
