For us here at PAIRFUM, Alison Brooks Architects’ curving ‘smile’ was the stand-out installation this year. As a matter of fact, we are surprised it is not in the Guiness Book of record as the world’s biggest smile !

Another one of our favourites is Asif Khan’s MINI LIVING ‘forests’ installation in shoreditch, london.

It is placed designed to help us relax, increase our productivity and invite meet-ups.
