Floris London - 'The Nature of Colour' - A Unique Collaboration Between Floris & The New Craftsmen

In May 2015 as part of London Craft Week, Floris forged a unique collaboration with The New Craftsmen and renowned textile artist Katherine May to create a series of exclusive events in the ‘Mine’, the sub-basement two floors below the Floris founding shop at 89 Jermyn Street. For two centuries until the 1970’s all of Floris’s fragrances were created in this rarely seen London space. The collaboration was forged when Katherine visited the Floris shop as part of The New Craftsmen’s ‘Made of Mayfair’ project. Her investigation into the perfumery archives saw her drawing out the unique relationship between colour and scent. Using natural plant dyes and original perfume recipes an extraordinary textile based installation was created. http://www.florislondon.com/ https://www.thenewcraftsmen.com/ http://www.katherinemay.com/
