This exhibition presents the project created by A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE in collaboration with the Swiss-based design studio atelier oï, exploring a new concept that combines "a piece of wire" and "a piece of cloth" into innovative lighting products.
This project emerged from a mutual understanding between atelier oï, renowned for its work across diverse fields such as architecture and product design, and A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE, which continues to push the boundaries of clothes-making by engaging with different disciplines and industries. Prioritizing the process of making things, this project has evolved through an ongoing exchange of ideas, merging different perspectives and techniques.
A-POC ABLE has long explored the relationship between "a piece of cloth" and "the human body," creating uniquely designed garments. In this project, the possibilities of "a piece of cloth" are further investigated, venturing into the new realm of lighting products. This exhibition presents two distinct lighting series born from the joint work with atelier oï.
The project was first unveiled during Milan Design Week in April 2025, receiving widespread international acclaim. By extending the potential of "a piece of cloth" beyond the realm of clothing and into lighting design, the project garnered significant attention. This Tokyo exhibition offers the Japanese premiere of a restructured display, centered on the prototypes presented in Milan. Visitors can experience the unique world of lighting by A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE, where beauty and functionality seamlessly integrate.
