Introducing The Second Ignant Shop Product: A Room Scent Created With AOIRO

Though their output is embodied in glass vials and vessels, for Shizuko Yoshikuni and Manuel Kuschnig of Berlin-based olfactory design studio AOIRO, the creative process is about everything but the scent itself. Taking its name from the Japanese expression for “the color of blue”, AOIRO offers invitations to emotional encounters. Whether collaborating with hotels, artists, or automotive brands, the Austro–Japanese pair take a holistic approach to their olfactive experiences, drawing on their backgrounds in aromatherapy, philosophy, and design to develop singular sensory encounters.
