Moooi presents: Moooi x EveryHuman
Moooi introduces ‘Moooi x EveryHuman’, a bespoke room fragrance experience fuelled by AI that is the centrepiece of their exhibition. EveryHuman™ is the creator of the world’s first public AI scent design platform: Algorithmic Perfumery. In this new version of the digital experience and sensory machine, visitors embark on a spatial and sensory exploration to create their personal room fragrance produced on-site, in real time. Moooi x EveryHuman echoes Moooi’s use of technology to tap into unexplored areas of personalisation for designing our lives and homes. As to lead to a more creative and customised life, A Life Extraordinary.

The experience, accessible at moooi.everyhuman.com, lets you be the creator of your own customised room fragrance. The experience starts with a questionnaire. But not your typical factual one. Instead, it is mood- and feeling-based, designed to inspire your imagination and shift your mindset. The questions are unexpected, poetic, and associative, giving you a much-needed break from regular thinking. The real magic happens when your answers are combined with the power of AI to create a room fragrance formula that is perfectly tailored to your mood. This formula is then used by the sensory machine to produce a bespoke scent that is truly one-of-a-kind. The result is a room fragrance that is as unique as you are.

“We are on a mission to empower everyone to explore, create and play with scent. To let you connect more deeply with who you are and how you perceive yourself at that moment. We are excited to expand this experience to our homes and lives with Moooi x EveryHuman.”
-ANAHITA MEKANIK & FREDERIK DUERINCK, FOUNDERS EVERYHUMAN

Moooi to launch digital art on Nifty Gateway
Moooi will launch a digital art collection later this year on Nifty Gateway, an online auction platform for digital art and collectibles. Fostering creativity, Moooi’s mission is to make designer’s dreams come true. By entering the online art world, Moooi expands their platform to make digital design dreams come true!

The upcoming collection will provide a glimpse into the future of design, building on the foundation Wanders laid in 2013. Keep an eye on niftygateway.com/@moooinft and set an email reminder aka drop alert to be the first to know the exact date Marcel Wanders’ digital art collection will launch.

“We are very excited to present Moooi x EveryHuman and to continue our technological journey by merging lifestyle and technology. Very proud to collaborate with exceptional innovative partners, to create experiences that enhance and transform our homes and our lives.”

Preview of the Kisss Chair by Marcel Wanders

Introducing the Kisss Chair by Marcel Wanders. A preview installation that pays homage to the iconic Mae West Lips Sofa by Salvador Dali. The Kisss Chair’s alluring and curvy silhouette beckons you to sit and relax, while its surreal and whimsical nature brings a touch of playful sophistication to a space. The ability to combine multiple chairs, makes it perfect for any space, big or small. The Kisss Chair is presented with a series of AI-fuelled videos. Created in collaboration with Magic Factory, the videos are a testament to the endless possibilities of creativity and technology.

In ‘A Life Extraordinary’ the preview installation of the Kisss Chair is part of a space called the ‘Kissing Booth’. The Kissing Booth also provides a preview of a carpet and wall covering designs with a new signature motif called “Coccinella Bella.” These upcoming designs, along with the future digital art on display, continue to build on Moooi’s tech-driven aesthetic. Notably, the Coccinella Bella motif was created using artificial intelligence, further highlighting Moooi’s commitment to innovative design techniques.

Preview of the Tubelight by BCXSY
During Milan Design Week 2023 Moooi offers a preview installation of the Tubelight designed by Amsterdam-based design collective BCXSY.

The end-result is pure and minimalistic, but with a twist that makes it stand out from traditional lighting fixtures. Tubelight takes something recognisable and transforms it into an alienating object that is both mesmerising and intriguing. For now, the Tubelight can only be previewed at ‘A Life Extraordinary 2023’.

About EveryHuman
EveryHuman is the creator of the world’s first public AI scent design platform: Algorithmic Perfumery. Their endeavours sit at the crossroads of art, science, and technology. It was born out of the encounter between artist-technologist Frederik Duerinck and scent designer Anahita Mekanik. Together, they aim to offer a new way to interact with scent by placing users at the heart of the creation process. This shift in perspective radically challenges the current model offered by the industry and questions why 800 people decide how the world smells for 8 billion humans.

About LG OLED ART
