Ron Arad For Kenzo

This beautiful sculpture just happens to also be a perfume bottle.

Now available in selected Kenzo boutiques, Industrial Designer Ron Arad has designed his first perfume flask for the French fragrance makers – and once again unconventionally toyed with shapes and technology. The bottle has an ergonomic form, twisting in the shape of a figure of eight, something emphasized by fine lines. It is made of a Zamac alloy and polished by hand. The unidentifiable and nameless fragrance, akin to the scent of skin, was created by French parfumeur Aurélien Guichard. The fragrance will be produced as a limited edition of 2,000.

Ron Arad’s constant experimentation with the use of possibilities of materials such as steel, aluminium or polyamide and his radical re-conception of form and structure has put him at the forefront of contemporary design. Alongside his limited edition studio work, Arad designs for many leading international companies including Kartell, Vitra, Moroso, Fiam, Driade, Alessi, Cappellini, Cassina and Magis among others.
