A spatial installation for agarbatti in Mumbai, India.

This 6x4 meter installation in Mumbai reimagines how fragrance can be experienced not just

smelled, but embodied through space. Designed as a freestanding concave enclosure, the form

encourages visitors to engage with "agarbatti "(incense sticks) in an entirely new way.

“The Art of the fragrance” recognizes and celebrates fragrance as a form of artistic expression,

beyond just a consumer product.

The installation is defined by four gently concave curved walls, placed to create a nearly

negative at space.Each wall opens slightly outward, guiding movement inward from all four

directions. These curves are not static; they act like spatial invitations-flowing surfaces that

shape movement - pause.

From the outside, the form hints at a threshold-an entry into something quiet and layered. From

within, the sloping edges reduce visual mass and create a subtle sense of openness. This

architectural gesture makes the walls feel as if they are not enclosing space, but rather

breathing it in.

Form - becomes the display

The curved surfaces host slender aluminum voids-circular openings at various heights, each

holding an incense stick placed upside down. As you walk along the wall, the fragrance draws

you in. You lean forward, place your head near the void, and inhale. The wall seems to

participate-as if it inhales with you.

Surface- becomes identity

Branding is not overt, but embedded—carried quietly through materiality and curvature. The

blue flooring adds a calm undertone, grounding the space and slowing down the experience.

One part of the installation becomes a gathering point—a central node reached through voids in

the wall. Another section offers space for additional display tubes and meeting space.

The design is meant to stir curiosity, evoke stillness, and frame fragrance as architecture.

This is not a space you simply pass through.

You pause. You inhale. You feel.
