Anja Eriksen was proud to contribute to the 2021 exhibition Dyredufte - Dyre Dufte (Animal Scents - Precious Smells) at Naturama, which explored the fascinating history and culture of scents.
The exhibition highlighted the captivating use of fragrance, from the creation of exquisite 18th-century silver scent bottles to the modern exploration of scent in nature and human culture.
Featuring rare scent bottles crafted in silver and gold, as well as contemporary perfume jewelry, the exhibition allowed visitors to experience how scents have been used for everything from camouflage to mating rituals.
Anja’s specially designed perfume jewelry for the exhibition showcased her commitment to blending history with innovative artistry in the world of scent.
Anja's work, Ambra: sustainably split sugarhorn by wood artist Joel Cole from the Faroe Islands; perfume holder made of stainless steel turned by machinist Mikael í Jákupsstovu; ring crafted from 18 and 14 karat recycled gold and oxidized recycled silver, adorned with 26 champagne-colored and colorless conflict-free diamonds (totaling 1.26 carats) set in tube settings.
