From Sights to Scent : A Sensory Exploration of Design

A fine leather finish with its signature scent and beautiful texture can make the most boring artifact look and feel exotic and stunning. 

From the mild fragrance of a boutique or the stunning thematic experience of IMAX, all have  a commonly implemented factor. 

Design

Design is indeed a sensory vacation that engages multiple senses, including visual, auditory, touch, and even smell. 

Look

Colors, patterns and the overall visual inputs can evoke different emotions. Why do you think supermarkets put in that extra effort in creating festive displays?

Designers utilize lights and colors to create visually pleasing and impactful experiences.

Sound

Have you wondered why Dolby Digital setups are in so much demand? 

In multimedia design, background music, sound effects, or voice overs can create a more immersive and engaging environment. 

Feel

Ever visited an Apple store to just enjoy the feeling of tapping your fingers on the touchpad or the keyboard?

Different textures, materials, and surface finishes can affect our perception and interaction with objects differently. 

Smell

Doesn’t the aroma of freshly brewed coffee awaken your senses everytime you walk into a cafe?

In industries such as retail or hospitality, integrating pleasant scents in the design can create a welcoming and memorable atmosphere for consumers. 

Designers and architects grab the opportunity to create cohesive and immersive experiences that engage users on multiple levels. By carefully implementing these, consumer experience can be enhanced remarkably.
