Following the previous year’s collaboration, this installation was created for Milan Design Week 2017 at the request of Aisin Seiki. Inspired by the cocoon of a silkworm—an iconic form that embodies both softness and strength—the work suggested the enduring value of “protecting the passenger,” regardless of how automobiles may evolve. At the same time, it envisioned a future where the relationship between car and user becomes increasingly intimate.

2016年に続き、アイシン精機の依頼によるミラノデザインウィーク2017のためのインスタレーション。柔らかさと強靭さを併せ持ち、内部の繊細な存在を守る蚕の繭を象徴的なモチーフとし、車がどのように進化しても「乗る人を守る」という価値の普遍性を示唆しながら、車とユーザーとの関係がより親密になる未来像を描いた。
