Senses of the Future

The work of Tokujin Yoshioka for LG at the Superdesign show is among the winners installations of the Milan Design Award 2017, and is an invitation to rethink the human importance in the design philosophy. #MDW2017

The work illustrates the relationship between human society and nature, emphasizing the vision of Tokujin Yoshioka that puts human in the center. A festival for the senses that offers a new vision to the visitors of what the future could be thanks to the collaboration between the new experimental cutting-edge technologies and design.  

 

A part of the installation transmits hope through a common-use object, the S.F chair. These are not ordinary chairs, they are almost like a science fiction object. Seventeen S.F chairs, beautifully created use LG OLED screens. The chairs convey both a sense of stillness and dynamism, thanks to the flash light emitted from double panels that recall the lightning speed of the passing frenetic pace of modern life. Visitors will have the opportunity to sit on the S.F chair, experiencing the future display technology.

 

Another key component of the installation is the presence of Wall of the Sun, a wide wall of lights 16 meters large and five meters tall, consisting of approximately 30,000 individual modules of OLED lights, totally different from the traditional ones. The wall appears to float, thanks to the brilliant rays of light that transmits, giving a feeling of comfort typical of the warm and sunny weather. This extraordinary installation puts a careful eye on how the light – in a vision focused on man – can transform the space in the near future.
