for CARTIER tokujin yoshioka designed also two perfume bottles 'moon fragments' which
take the form of a disk and a sphere shape. both are included in the show.

'I had in mind poems of the french jean cocteau, one of the most multi-talented artists of
the 20th century, and following the 'memory' title of the exhibition, I designed these perfume
bottles and named them 'moon fragments', to me they symbolize the future of CARTIER.'
