Can scents inspire form? Super Ornament translates three .obj scented candles into new metal furniture pieces: three scents, three forms, one shop.

The Shape of Scent marks the first collaboration between design studios .obj and Super Ornament. An exhibition on how scents are reshaped into unique furniture pieces. ​ Every scent evokes a feeling and memory, shifting the space it inhabits. The three scented candles designed by .obj: Prompt, Agentic and Hallucinations each carry a distinct character; from bright and uplifting to grounded and composed to something familiar and distorted. What would these scents look like as objects? This forms the basis for a new collection of metal furniture pieces designed by Super Ornament. Each piece embodies the character of the scents through its form, purpose, and surface treatments. ​ Visitors are invited to move through three zones, each anchored by the candle and its architectural response, tracing a single idea as it moves from a scent to a feeling to an object, from a fragrance to something you can see and touch. The exhibition opens up into a shop with a curated edit of candles, vases, lamps and small objects in metal from both studios. Instagram: @thedotobj / @super.ornament
