Olfactory Design Lab is a collaboration between FabCafe KL and Scent Artist Maki Ueda, with the general goal to research and consider the sense of smell as a medium for communication. Up until recently, design research, including user experience, has always been heavily focused on the sense of vision. However, as digital trends continue to grow in increasingly creative ways, other bodily senses, such as smell and touch, have become key interest areas for those keen to engage with users in a more material and embodied sense.
Smell is a long-distance sense, a way of stretching time and finding out in advance what lies ahead.
– Lyall Watson
Maki Ueda now holds over a decade of teaching and exhibiting experience based on the topic of smell and art. Since 2009, she has held a teaching position at the Royal University of the Netherlands, conducting the world’s first and only “olfactory art” course. In this workshop, we will be breaking down the scent of a rose and then re-constructing your own rose scent!
How about the smell of a rose? Sweet, musky, spicy, citronelle, the scent of a rose has been utilized in perfumes and food for centuries. But, what do we mean exactly by, “the smell of a rose”? In this Olfaction Design Lab, participants aimed to consider just this by synthesizing their own unique rose scent.

Maki Ueda
Scent Artist
Born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1974. Currently based in Okinawa and Tokyo, Japan.

In addition to her own creative work, she teaches courses on olfactory art at the ArtScience Interfaculty of The Royal Academy of Art and the Royal Conservatoire, The Hague (NL) since 2009.
Maki Ueda studied media art under Masaki Fujihata at The Environmental Information Department (B.A. 1997, M.A. 1999), Keio University, Japan.
