Stockholm’s Transparent has always designed for the senses — sight, touch, sound. Now, it adds another layer: smell.
The studio’s new Aroma Diffuser translates its signature clarity into the language of fragrance. Made from glass and aluminium, the object stands somewhere between a vessel and a tool — open, restrained, quietly luminous.
A thin column of mist rises from its top, carrying scent through the air. Inside, water and essential oils merge through vibration, not heat. The design makes the invisible visible — a fleeting materialisation of mood.
The diffuser is conceived as a quiet study in emotion and space — an object designed to shape atmosphere rather than dominate it. Every surface and proportion seeks balance, intended to live effortlessly within daily rituals. Its form echoes the precision of scientific tools: modular, functional, exact. Each component can be disassembled for maintenance or renewal, reflecting the brand’s ongoing commitment to circular design.
Alongside the device comes a small collection of natural oils drawn from the Nordic landscape — pine, cedar, spruce — scents that evoke clean air and quiet forests.
Transparent launches the diffuser through Kickstarter, a deliberate nod to its early community. Later, it will appear through the studio’s website and select design spaces.
