DRIES VAN NOTEN

SIZED temporarily occupied Dries Van Noten’s Los Angeles arts space and adjacent retail store to present BOND, a two-month exhibition informed by the Japanese art of Ikebana. Conceived as an exploration of tension and harmony between objects and environment, the project treated placement as a sculptural act and space itself as a medium. A considered selection of works by artists and designers was arranged with principles of restraint and balance, establishing a rhythm that unfolded across both exhibition and retail interiors. The store was subtly reimagined to echo the atmosphere of the installation, creating a dialogue between the two sites. The project extended across multiple forms of expression. Printed matter, digital materials, and environmental details were conceived to sustain the tone of the exhibition at every point of encounter. BOND concluded with a gathering hosted in collaboration with Yola Mezcal and Aplós, drawing together artists, designers, and creative communities in a closing moment of exchange.
