The
Story of
STUDIO TN
Collection
Leading the design and construction of a project takes years of constant attention to the environment and sustainability of the materials chosen. She detailed the client's needs in building vocabularies and embraced ordinances and codes to the poetry of concrete, steel, and flow. One day the project is finished, and the next one comes and goes, repeating the cycle of creation and separation. She sits, left with only the memory of each conception.
She explores plants and maps each memory with a fragrant note. A work from the past is now a source of inspiration to build a new blend of perfume. When she opens the bottle, releasing its fragrance into the air, she is again immersed in her past design. Architectural memories transformed into a unique scent, the scents recalling her joyful creations.
All labels are watercolor paintings of specific projects to connect the visual memory to the scent.

TREEHOUSES N' OAKS
A private residence hugging a mature California Oak Tree. From each floor residents experience different parts of this tree. In the 2nd-floor master bedroom shadows of upper branches in the morning sun on the floor to ceiling translucent glazings create playful natural wallpapers while the clear glazing on the ground level exposes the details of the tree trunk.

Pools N' Tobaccos Watercolor by TN
POOLS N’ TOBACCOS
The scent connects the nostalgia of the romantic era of pipe tobacco by the poolside in the history of the American midcentury lifestyle. The perfume signifies materiality(remodeling of an existing midcentury structure and pool) and immateriality (the immaterial memory of the sweet and earthy smell of tobacco by the poolside in the 1950s). It aimed at projecting a fragrance that evoked a reminiscence of the remodeling of this Eichler House and its relationship to the fantasy of the forbidden pleasant smell of tobacco.
