Country in the City

Reverie is an immersive experience by artist Wolfgang Buttress that invites the public to come and sit within a sculptural environment planted with wildflowers, flax and grasses. Using sound, scent and form the intention is to invite contemplation on the importance of sustainable fashion and how we can protect and support pollinators such as the honey bee. The sounds that can be heard within the piece and the store here in Soho include some new vibrational sounds and communications of the honey bee recorded and discovered by scientist Dr. Martin Bencsik’s team which include: Queen Quacking, Queen Tooting, Whooping Signals, Worker Pipes, Dorsoventral Abdominal Signals.

Celebrated BBC DJ and broadcaster Nick Luscombe has curated a site specific playlist which harmonises with the soundscape and installation.

Our natural site specific scent is dispersed via nebuliser throughout the store
