this is something i designed and developed for my @ayoBayView studio-store. an oversized bronze mirror stamped with the ayọ insignia.
inspired by nonfiction beauty—one of my all-time favorite brands—out in seoul. pretty sure they had something similar in their kyoto store… idk. either way, this was built for the midwest. sourced the glass and brass frame from a spot in minnesota (🤫 can’t give you all the sauce lol). it’s solid. reflective. made to last.
we’re adding the materials and sketches to our free resource site: the ayo design register.
i love this—definitely one of those pieces that speaks without saying much.

@ayoBayView presented week 1 of my immersive, scent-driven installation, “Facts Don’t Change How People Feel,” accompanied by a song of the same title. Week 2 announcement to follow.
tomorrow from 12p to 5p we’re turning ayọ – Bay View into a living room for @walkwithgerald ‘s’Facts Don’t Change How People Feel’— an installation built from a song, perfume oils, a candle, vinyl and a mock neck shirt, all sitting together in the same space.
come wander through, listen, smell, try things on, and sit with whatever your own feelings are doing. details + dates in stories / highlight. powered by @ayofragrancestudio
