So happy to be included to the Next Roberto Baciocchi experience, from 5 through 29 April 2018, inside the Dome of Elephant Paname in Paris, the architect Roberto Baciocchi delivers an intimate, urban & symbolic pop up space, inviting both visitors and artists to experience ‘real life’, supercharged with emotion.

An antechamber, a relaxation lounge, a space for socialising and a tactile garden give form to a multisensory path devoted to art and design, where images, sounds and smells interact with the public. Divided by corridors adorned with the works by 40 international independent artists, the belle epoque mansion transforms into an itinerant workshop provoking emotion, under the guidance of Roberto Baciocchi himself. The smell of cut wood and grass, freshly baked bread, or the fumes that seep from a fresh oil painting: each scent evokes our childhood memories and fantasies, thanks to custom olfactory notes developed by Givaudan.

An original soundtrack, curated by Frédéric Sanchez, suddenly arises through directional walls, with the aim of connecting the art installation with an experience unique to each visitor.

Emotional fictions, taking the form of Instagram Stories realized by the talents of “1000 Visages” cinema association, inhabits a giantesque tactile screen under the direction of the film-maker Houda Benyamina (Caméra d’Or at Cannes Festival for the film Divines) Two mysterious capsules open into their own reflective universes, where La Bouche Studio reimagines the ritual of dining, bringing a new opportunity for guests to engage with their surroundings, dishes and fellow invitees*.
