Our image for this article features the ‘scent sculptures’ created Zuza Mengham in collaboration with ‘Laboratory Perfumes. It is an artistic exploration of the relationship between scent and the other human senses.

For us here at PAIRFUM, Alison Brooks Architects’ curving ‘smile’ was the stand-out installation this year. As a matter of fact, we are surprised it is not in the Guiness Book of record as the world’s biggest smile !

Another one of our favourites is Asif Khan’s MINI LIVING ‘forests’ installation in shoreditch, london.

It is placed designed to help us relax, increase our productivity and invite meet-ups.
