A special exhibition, “TYPE-XIII Atelier Oï project by A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE : New Forms of Light Created from a Piece of Cloth”, will be held at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT Gallery 3 from Wednesday, October 1 through Monday, November 24.

During Milan Design Week in April 2025, A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE announced the “TYPE-XIII Atelier Oï project,” a new project in collaboration with the Switzerland-based design studio atelier oï. The project explored a new concept that combines ‘a piece of wire’ and ‘a piece of cloth’ into innovative lighting products.
Now, the exhibition will be presented for the first time in Japan featuring the prototypes unveiled at the time of the announcement.

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. The exhibition uses an installation format to showcase the two series of lighting fixtures created through the collaboration with atelier oï.
