Thirty years have passed since the announcement of L’EAU D’ISSEY POUR HOMME, a fragrance that evokes the scent of water. Today, a new fragrance from ISSEY MIYAKE PARFUMS is born from designer Issey Miyake’s choice of another essential natural element. We are pleased to celebrate the new fragrance with “ISSEY MIYAKE LE SEL D’ISSEY: Imagination of Salt” at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT Gallery 3 from August 28 (Wed.) to September 8 (Sun.).
This exhibition presents a fragrance installation created by designer and artist Tokujin Yoshioka who designed the bottle of the new fragrance, known for his innovative takes on themes like nature and light. “I want to express the appeal of pure, powerful perfume from the standpoint of fundamental, universal themes,” explained Yoshioka as he developed a dynamic experience that speaks to the senses.
Besides the installation, this exhibition features the design process of the sculptural bottle and a special video exclusive to this exhibition, including an interview with Quentin Bisch, the perfumer who created the fragrance—introducing a vibrant world permeated with the fragrance.
