APPARATUS Opens New York Exhibition of GOL and ESFAND Series, Plus AFSANEH Incense

Apparatus, the New York design studio, has an exhibition on view in the city At its center are pieces from two series, GOL and ESFAND The studio's announcement frames GOL, a Persian word for flower, with the line "Beauty as a beacon for those who seek knowledge." Alongside those two series, the show also includes JAHAAN and RAHVI Both are on view in New York and in London, so the same body of work can be seen in either city For a studio known for lighting and furniture, it is a chance to look closely at materials and form in person. Scent is part of the presentation too AFSANEH, an incense developed with Cinnamon Projects, is burning in the New York and London spaces, adding an atmosphere that photographs cannot carry The incense can also be ordered online, so those who cannot visit in person can still take it home. Pairing objects with fragrance turns the exhibition into something to experience through the whole room, not only the eye For anyone interested in interiors and product design, it is one of the more distinctive shows on in New York this fall.
