A Garden of Wonders, a project by Be Open presented at the Botanical Garden during the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2015, staged, under the directorship of Ferruccio Laviani, fragrances prepared by international designers who have imagined, inside boxes, scattered among the flower beds, the choreography suited to represent some valuable historical essences. The origin of the project the idea of creating fragrant walks, giving essences a palpable form: precious bottles to smell, theories of bottles sealed with ancient, mysterious, labels, (Piero Lissoni) collections of fragrant plants (Tord Boontje), French perfumes from irreverent design (Jaime Hayon), fragrances accompanied by the sparkle of the stars (Front). The magic of the stands reveals how scent can be a potent stimulator of creativity. A Garden of Wonders is for designers: a compelling invitation to devote oneself to the project of fragrances.
