2024/25 SS G’wanderer bietet viel Berührung zwischen Zirbenholz und Kleidung. Schon nach kurzer Zeit trägt die Kleidung das Aromas des Baumes. Die wohltuenden Gerüche können somit durch den Alltag getragen werden. Für das Projekt wurde lokales Holz vom Ritten verwendet.
G'wanderer offers a lot of contact between Swiss stone pine wood and clothing. After just a short time, the clothing carries the aroma of the tree. The soothing scents can thus be carried through everyday life. Local wood from the Ritten was used for the project.
G'wanderer offre un notevole contatto tra il legno di cirmolo e gli indumenti. Dopo poco tempo, i vostri abiti saranno impregnati dell'aroma dell'albero. Gli odori rilassanti possono così essere portati con sé nella vita di tutti i giorni. Per il progetto è stato utilizzato legno locale del Renon.
A project made in the course
Unveiling Scents. Designing With, Through, and For Smell.
While visual, acoustic, and tactile impressions often take center stage in design education, olfactory perception has received relatively little attention in design practice. Yet, most of our experiences are accompanied by a scent, even if we are not consciously aware of it. Among all our senses, none is as deeply connected to personal memories, and emotions - both positive and negative - as the sense of smell. Shouldn’t this dimension receive at least as much focus and appreciation in design education as the more established media of contemporary design?
