Alongside, Arpa presented its signature hand-blown glass bottles by Jochen Holz next to visual works by Tom du Peyret, displayed in binders and slides reminiscent of scientific research on microorganisms.

A dialogue between materiality and ephemerality, the presentation expanded Arpa’s vision of fragrance as an immersive experience.
