Five Echoes

Posted by Robin on 3 December 2021 7 Comments

[Artist and stage designer Es] Devlin and Chanel will transform the plaza into a multisensory labyrinth entitled “Five Echoes,” starting with a lush forest with more than 20 plant species (a nod to Coco Chanel’s upbringing in Abbey of Aubazine surrounded by woods). A luminescent sculpture that interprets the legendary Chanel N° 5 fragrance through sound and sight emerges at the center of the forest, featuring a soundscape developed in collaboration with Chanel’s in-house perfumer Olivier Polge.

— After Rockefeller Center, Chanel heads to Miami for a gig at Art Basel, to run through December 21. Read more in Chanel Unveils “Five Echoes” Installation With Artist Es Devlin at Grazia, or see Six must-see public art installations of Art Basel 2021 at Timeout.

His desk is precisely as you’d expect – handwritten notes and branches of blotters jut out from short metal stands, surrounded by boxes brimming with collections of indecipherably labelled small glass bottles. In each, he explains, is an ongoing experiment; constantly evolving concoctions which, he hopes, will one day lead him to another perfect perfume.

I'm guessing a few of you might want one? A 27 day (December 5 to December 31) advent calendar from Chanel in biodegradable paper pulp packaging, and including a number of items (a snow globe, keychain, a tree ornament, a magnetic bookmark, a bracelet, etc) that aren't usually for sale. It's $825, and possibly sold out already but you could call your local Chanel counter.
