Patrick Palcic

Patrick Palcic is a designer and olfactory artist based in Berlin. He holds a B.A. in Product and Process Design and an M.A. in Design from the University of the Arts Berlin, and has built a practice around the five senses, with smell at its centre.

The scale of his projects runs from small batches of odor molecules to large-scale immersive installations, and the aim is to reflect the full spectrum of the nose in a synesthetic way. Pieces such as House of the Forgotten Scents, Scented Furniture, Kaleidoscent and Scent Clock treat fragrance as a design material rather than a finishing layer. His honours include a 2024 Archello Award for Office Furniture of the Year with Kinzo Berlin and a 2023 finalist place in the Sadakichi Award at the Institute for Art and Olfaction in Los Angeles.
