COS presented New Spring, an installation by London-based Studio Swine, an artistic collaboration between Japanese architect Azusa Murakami and British artist Alexander Groves. The duo, who created an immersive, multi-sensory experience, chosing the name New Spring to reflect the optimism and renewal that comes with seasonality.

 

Inspired by the Sakura festival of Japan, the installation will centre around a focal sculpture, emitting mist-filled blossoms that burst and evaporate on contact with skin but that live on momentarily when met with textured fabrics. Studio Swine said of their inspiration, “we wanted to encapsulate a lifespan of emotions in an instant. To create an experience that was fleeting, but in its time evoked joy and vitality, if only to remain as a memory.”
