Sequence 2 - Special Edition
Experience Kosai, Piel, and Kapsel through a special edition that deepens the original narrative of Sequence 2. Three scents. Three identities. Each paired with its own poster and flexi disc as a visual and sonic echo of its composition.
A Multisensory Project
At the heart of the special edition is a double-sided poster designed by Paris-based studio Adulte Adulte and Swiss-based studio Retinaa. Each poster serves as a visual ID for a fictional humanoid figure; a being that embodies the fragrance. Folded into a sleeve, it holds a flexi disc engraved with the humanoid’s name and featuring an original composition by Low Jack, created in response to the fragrance.
FROM THE ORGANIC TO THE SYNTHETIC
The posters explore the meeting point between the organic and the computational. Inspired by Japanese Metabolist architecture, rhizomatic lifeforms, and data structures, each design features a similar geometrical shape at its center. A sensorial circuit rises from its roots anchored in the ground, forming a tree-like structure, while besides stands a silhouette : a fully body humanoid.
THE BIRTH OF THE HUMANOID
Sequence 2 begins with the iris, extracted, transformed, and encoded. No longer just a flower, it absorbs particles, sounds, and colors, becoming a transmitter across biological and digital realms. From this process, a humanoid form takes shape: modular, composed, and alive. Born of scent and signal, it embodies a new kind of life, where plant matter and data converge. The poster becomes its map - a layered cartography, at once emotional and topographic, tracing the contours of this hybrid being.
Hidden Codes and Embedded Stories
Designed in collaboration with Swiss design studio Retinaa, experts in security documents, the posters are layered with graphic codes, micro-patterns, and hidden visual elements. When exposed to light, a pattern of organic roots appears across the surface. Each poster has its own color palette, echoing the tone of the scent and the bottle it accompanies. A short text by writer Théo Casciani, recounting a moment from the humanoid’s life, is embedded within the layout, meant to be decoded rather than read.
Oddity Launch party
First unveiled in July 2025 at Oddity through an immersive installation, the posters were accompanied by a live performance from Low Jack, whose original compositions for each fragrance are pressed on flexi disc. The special edition is now available online and in selected stores.
