Emanuela Corti e Ivan Parati, Sense-Wear

The project Sense-Wear by Emanuela Corti and Ivan Parati (Group: Caravan) has been recognised as the Grand Prix Winner of the 2015 Lexus Design Award competition.

The award was handled to the winner by Tokuo Fukuichi, President of Lexus International, during a ceremony held on April 13 in the Lexus Space at the Milan Design Week.

Sense-Wear is a collection of garment and accessories designed to improve sense awareness. Some items help mute physical sensations, while others help sharpen them, allowing wearers to experience the sensory world from a new perspective. The designers were mentored by Robin Hunicke for the development of a prototype displayed in the Lexus Space in Milan. The Lexus Design Award is in its third edition this year, but it is the first time that a Grand Prix Winner is nominated among the finalists.

All the nominated works are on view at Lexus Space, designed by Philippe Nigro in collaboration with the 3-star chef Hajime Yoneda.
