Thirty years have passed since the announcement of L'EAU D'ISSEY POUR HOMME, a fragrance created to evoke the scent of water. To celebrate a new fragrance to be released based upon designer Issey Miyake's fascination with another essential natural element, this exhibition features an installation created by Tokujin Yoshioka, the designer and artist who designed the bottle for the new fragrance. For this exhibition he developed an engaging experience that speaks to the senses. There is also a special video, exclusive to this exhibition that describes the design process of the sculptural bottle and features an interview with Quentin Bisch, the perfumer who created the fragrance.

Gallery 3
21_21 DESIGN SIGHT Gallery 3 is a presentation space dedicated to design, which develops collaborative programs with domestic and overseas corporations, which constitute one of the major bases of making things, as well as educational, research and cultural institutions. Through programs that inform the very present of design, here, we can think about our everyday life and future with a greater number of people, and make various proposals.
Through networks that continue to expand from the Gallery 3 as the hub, 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT will explore a multifaceted “design point of view” in future.
