SENSORY WORKSHOP
with
FORA FORM X APOTHEKE
Hosted by DNA Partners & Umbrella Furniture
In early Spring 2023 we invited Architects and Designers to join us at a series of unique Sensory Workshops with our partners Fora Form & Ragnars and perfumer Jessica Hannan from Apotheke. Guests were given a chance to learn about scents in public spaces, the history of
how scent has evolved in hospitality and workplaces, and how it
can be used to enhance the experience of your designs.
There was also an opportunity to view and learn more about the installation at
Umbrella by Fora Form and Ragnars.
WHY ARE MULTIPLE SENSES IMPORTANT IN DESIGN?
“At Fora Form and Ragnars we prioritise multiple senses as part of our product design. Our designs work with all elements of the environment to enhance your space and create more productive outcomes for people. We hope our guests will enjoy this experience in olfactory exploration.”
Pål Eid-Hviding | Head of Marketing at Fora Form
