Diptyque Co-Creates Fragrance Installation With Italian Artist Felice Limosani At Milan Design Week 2017 - April 4-9

Sablier By Diptyque Marks The Passage Of Time In Milan For First Time

French niche perfume house Diptyque is participating for the first time of its brand history to Milan Design Week 2017, which takes place from April 4 to April 9. Within an installation Italian artist Felice Limosani created, they are showcasing a new method of home fragrancing called Sablier, the hourglass, in its generation two version, which lets perfume be diffused at cold temperatures drop by drop in a "hypnotic" manner, inviting you to mark the passing of time with scent...

Limosani explained that in his project, he linked up olfaction with the notion of time,

"Those are two opposite worlds to which I tried to give an aesthetic by using evocative symbols, in particular, the circle, the mirror, the hourglass, and sound. (Editor's translation)

Visitors are encouraged to play with the circles and move around the installation.

The artists added,

"It's a project which mixes different arts such as design, architecture, writing and chromatism, all the while associating the different fragrances of the object with the daydreaming of each person through the time marked by the hourglass." (Editor's translation).

Six different scents are exuded by six hourglasses, each symbolised by a circle with a particular color.
