Paul Smith fragrance project

Live Paul Smith fragrance design project. Brief “to design a new mainline fragrance for Paul Smith” This project was in depth in thinking of a story to go behind the fragrance rather than just to go and design something personal for the client. Researching into Paul Smith I found the most interesting part to his personality is he is able to have a sense of humor while also a professional business. Looking into games such as chess due to it being a game but also a seriousness behind it. I felt these related to the personality of Paul Smith and began looking at shapes within chess pieces and noticed the relations between the king and queen pieces and the male and female bodies. I choose to use these shapes but in a modern and simple effect to stand out from the competition of other fragrance bottles.

Currently working on

Well most of my time since breaking up university this year has been time spent on placement hunting this has been the lack of updates to the blog. I have recently started getting back into project work and currently collecting some designs for a competition at dwell to design a piece of furniture that would fit into their shop. More updates to come!! but here is a quick concept of a chair I think would fit into their shop.
