Experience Design — 'Sephora Sensorium' Pop-Up Museum
How can we create an experience that reintroduces the world to the magical art of perfume? When Sephora and Firmenich approached us with the opportunity to add a new dimension to our experience design work, we imagined a mix of cinema, design and technology where your sense of smell can bring image and sound to life. The Sensorium is located in the heart of NYC's Meat Packing District and is the first pop-up museum exhibit dedicated to scent. View Project
